[OpenBIOS] [PATCH 2/10] Ignore extraneous partitions

[William Hahne]

BootX will only check the first few partitions from mac-parts to find the
Mac OS partition. So it must expect drivers and void partitions to be
ignored. This patch makes it so that if you specify the partition cd:1 and
partition 1 is a driver it will keep checking partitions until reaching the
first non-driver and non-void partition.
