My G3 running OF 2.0f1 simply won't read ofwboot or netbsd for the ide bus
HD or CD.  I've tried every patch to the nvram and all I every get is 'Can't
Open ...'.  So I've given up on that approach.  I can however boot from the
floppy drive.  Once booted from that I can run the sysinst and get NetBSD
copied to my HD.  So what I want to do is create a new boot.fs disk that
will load the kernel and mount my HD as / and /usr and proceed from there.
Problem is, I can't find any documentation on the website on how to create
the boot.fs file (which is a DiskCopy file).  Nothing in the /usr/sys tree
either.  Please help.

Thanks,
Jeff
