I'm on the same track here...PowerBook 3400c, 1.5.2 release. It 
installed okay (stupid network timeout drove me crazy, though...) but 
now it won't boot. Using the settings you suggested below yields the 
same result:

can't OPEN: ata0@0:0

If I attempt:

boot ata0

or

boot /bandit/ohare/ata

I am confronted with a Default Catch:

DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFFFFFF6 at   %SRR0: FF80CA74    %SRR1: 0000B070

This is the second time that I have installed NetBSD on this machine and 
then been unable to boot it...grrr.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,
Marc
