I do not know which variant(s) of 11.0 you are using.

If releng/11.0 : Have you picked up -r305904 that Justin Hibbits =
checked-in?

If stable/11 : Have you picked up -r305901 that Justin Hibbits =
checked-in?

If head (so 12) : Have you picked up -r305894 that Justin Hibbits =
checked-in?

In all 3 cases the description is:

This is not needed for 10.x-??? .

The updated files are in sys/boot/powerpc/boot1.chrp/ :

 Makefile.hfs
 generate-hfs.sh
 hfs.tmp1.bz2.uu
