I just formatted a 1.44MB floppy as MS-DOS and copied ofwboot.xcf and 
netbsd.ram.gz onto it.  I renamed the latter to netbsd.gz.

It boots on an OF 1.0.5 machine with

boot fd:1,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.gz

No DiskCopy, no SunTar, no nothing, straight into the installer. 
Obviously ofwboot got a little smarter somewhere along the line.

Cross my heart, strike me dead, stick a lobster on my head.
