I think situations like this are one reason why a Booter like BootX could 
be useful. The other is for those ppc macs that don't have OF or have one 
that isn't fully capable.  My "old" 603e PPC Mac doesn't have OF but I 
have hopes of eventually running NetBSD on it once the macppc port picks 
up a bit more momentum.  A similar thing happened on the mac68k port 
where the more popular models were supported first followed by the less 
common models.
