I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this, as I have Snowball
booting as a Device Tree only platform:

The Machine ID should be all F's for DT I think.

I just changed SNOWBALL's machine ID to 9999 and it still boots just
fine with DT (ATAGs boot hangs). So what did you do? Can you send me
a patch of what you did, so I might reproduce your build please?
