>Description:
NetBSD 9.0 Beta for macppc is not bootable by OpenFirmware3 machines. Tested on a PowerMac G4 MDD (powermac3,6) and an iMac G3 (powermac4,1). I have a Motorola Starmax to test on as well but it is unavailable at the moment.

NetBSD 8.1 can boot successfully from these machines, but booting 9.0 gives the following output:

unrecognized Client Program format


>How-To-Repeat:
Attempt to boot the NetBSD 9.0 Beta for macppc from CD on any PowerMac.
