I make this commit needed by the FreeBSD/powerpc porting effort.

I'm going to need to dig up my 1275 manual to check this one out.

David,

A disk drive has a "device_type" of "block" not "disk". See 1276 section 3.7 (Standard device types) and 3.7.2 ("block" devices). Could you please fix this, trunk and branch (given it has already been checked into the branch :-( ).

At present none of other hw_*.c files are doing like the above. Instead they use a device tree (see attached) so your two line patch introduces a very fundamental change in the simulator's behavour. However, yes, the current need to specify all the properties in a file is a pain and the code to start doing this is long overdue.

Looking at the actual change, ..._init_address() appears to get the job done. However, if you trace the code, the second and further init calls try to re-add the property to the tree (see how permenant_object is used) - fortunatly these are ignored. Can you please create a bug-report documenting this problem.
I've checked in the attached.

HEAD and gdb_5_3-branch.
