As for 1.5, I prepared the ftp.netbsd.org ISOs, the Wasabi CDs, and the
build structure used for the NetBSD Mission CDs (the ones that were
distributed directly by some TNF members) -- all of these have the
appropriate macppc boot stuff.

It's a shot in the dark as to whether any other CDs or CD images are doing
the right magick to boot on all OFW versions.
