If someone's going to go and change the documentation on this one,
could we word it maybe more like this (no personal insult to Makoto
Fujiwara intended; I'm a native English speaker and I'm presuming he
is not):

  The boot loader (ofwboot.elf or ofwboot.xcf) is capable of reading
  the kernel from either a 4.2BSD or HFS/HFS+ partition, but there is
  no runtime support for mounting HFS/HFS+ partitions. So, booting
  from a kernel on a HFS/HFS+ partition for install will work, but
  the kernel for a running system should reside in a 4.2BSD partition.

Cheers...
