I've had this work successfully on a G4 AGP and Cube using

0 > boot hd:9,ofwboot.xcf hd:9,boof.fs

If you are doing a dual-disk install (eg on the G4) this will now work (and
allow sysinst) IF you put the NetBSD disk as the master.

As for single-disk install, I'm still stuck on the disklabel problem.


For reference, I've never gotten netbsd.ram.gz or netbsd-GENERIC.... to boot
from a HFS+ partition.
