On my FirePower LX (not a Macintosh clone, an older MP CHRP box), the
firmware REALLY DOES just load files from a file system, so the boot
program must be in either cd9660 or msdosfs.  Since NT (which is what
the thing currently runs) places its boot program in a FAT, placing
the NetBSD boot program and a kernel in that same FAT for testing is
extremely useful :-)
