Well at first I looked at the iso CD images at Iowa State
ftp://ftp.iastate.edu/pub/NetBSD/iso/ where they have bootable ISOs
that support multible architectures. There the READMEs said that the
OF2.x was bootable and supported. They also said that if you just
wanted a bootable CD for a given architecture that ftp.netbsd.org, in
particular ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/misc/iso/macppccd.iso would
work. 


The readme file at the NetBSD site says, "The following architectures
_do_ have bootable CD images: alpha, i386, macppc, pmax, sparc, vax."
It does NOT say the the macppc image is a hybrid unusable to owners of
older PowerMacs. As I believe most current Macs can read ISO images,
how would I tell? Is there a useable ISO available? Should I download
the one that the Iowa state says is specifically OFW2 bootable? Is
there a separate pure ISO9660 iso image site with no hybrids?
