Hi!

I'm still looking for a way of dual booting my Powerbook G3 Series. It's
running OF-2.0.1

As far as I know, I cannot boot of the disk if it is not NetBSD only
(ie: if there is an Apple partition map), is it still right?

If it is rigt, then I have two options: having a bootable floppy like
the install floppy, or a DOS floppy with ofwboot.xcf on it. The idea is
to use the bootloader on the floppy to boot the kernel which is on the
hard disk.

I'm not able to acheive it. Is ofwboot able to read an Apple partition
map in order to find out where is the NetBSD partition?

Do I have to set the partition type of the NetBSD partition to something
special (ie: would it help to set it up as A/UX)=20
