About BootX and Open Firmware, I found one more:
https://opensource.apple.com/source/bless/bless-11/README.BOOTING

It explains that BootX uses OF to load files. And before the QS 2002, OF was limited to LBA28, i.e. 128 GB.
The /simple/ truth and the reason for the complicated work-around.

Cheers,
