Thanks for the suggestion!  I tried this on my pismo (powerbook 2000) with
the following results:

After the first attempt to 'boot hd:netbsd.md', I got the same error as Isobel:
load-size=0 adler 32=1
LOAD-SIZE is too small

After 'boot hd:ofwboot.elf' and 'exit', I tried 'boot hd:netbsd.md' again.
It got much further:
Console keyboard type: ADB
[ netbsd symbol table has bad start address 0x267ffb02 ]

method <`usb-kbd-ihandle> not found; ihandle=ff9c9540 phandle=ff8843e8

This seems to jibe with what I understand of how the pismo is built (i.e.
the built-in keyboard is ADB).  I don't have a USB keyboard that I can try
this with.  I had previously posted to port-macppc the output of 'dev / ls'
and 'devalias' if this would be of any help.

I'd be glad to try any kernel that anyone is willing to send me (I don't
have another NetBSD/macppc system).  I'd really like to get pismo support.

Thanks!
