Hi,


    I think what you need to try is boot zip:,ofwboot.elf and then boot
zip:,netbsd with the kernel from kern.tgz in the root of your ZIP

    ofwboot.elf is expecting a NetBSD ELF kernel or a gziped ELF kernel. I
don't think it will load the boot.fs disk image, last I heard, boot.fs had
gotten too big to fit on a floppy in -current (someone correct me if I'm
wrong). In either case, I don't think you could get boot.fs to work by
writing it to your ZIP, netbsd/pmax has a diskboot file that you can DD to
an HD or ZIP disk, but AFAIK macppc does not. BTW the ramdisk install kernel
might work if you ungzip it and boot zip:,netbsd. Just some thoughts.
