[I have a G4/AGP/Sawtooth, ATI-128]
I downloaded this kernel

    ftp://nandra.iri.co.jp/pub/NetBSD/macppc/netbsd.md.gz

put it on a HFS ZIP (not HFS+), with ofwboot.elf and netbsd.md.

In OpenFirmware, I just do `boot zip:netbsd.md', it says it hasn't got plac=
e
enough.
Then I run ofwboot.elf (`boot zip:owfboot.elf'), I quit it (`exit')
And retype (` boot zip:netbsd.md'). Then it runs perfectly. The install
launches... I am in the install process at the moment (rebooting on MacOS)
to get the magic network numbers for ftp install...
