Woohoo!
I did it. So for the next generation of users :), here is how it worked on
PB 3400c:

before the installation:
0 > setenv load-base 4000
0 > setenv real-base F00000 (or -1, but I think both worked fine)
0 > boot /bandit/ohare/media-bay/ata/atapi-disk@0:0,\OFWBOOT.XCF;1
NETBSDRA.GZ
      (or NETBSD_RAM.GZ depending on what one has on CD)

after the installation:

0 > setenv load-base 600000
0 > setenv real-base F00000
0 > setenv boot-device /bandit/ohare/ata/ata-disk@0:0
0 > setenv boot-file <and press 'enter' to make sure it stays blank>
0 > reset-all
0 > boot

It was really simple :))

THX for help,
