hfs support is not in the kernel at present, though the hfsutils package
(in pkgsrc/sysutils) will read & write such a partition quite happily.

What I now think would be the best thing to do is just have a little hfs
partition with ofwboot on it, and have the NetBSD kernel live on the
NetBSD root.

Take care,
