I booted the installation boot disk with my Beige G3/233Mhz with:
boot fd:0

After it installed, it rebooted, and dropped straight into OF, and
started booting the kernel.  As I don't have the machine boot other
OS's, this was definately fine for me.

Yes, I have this problem as well, but its UNIX, so what does 'reboot'
mean again?  Its ok, I know what it needs, it does suck if for some
reason I have to restart the machine, its not going to come up by itself.
