I just tested the 1.7 bootload (xcf) with the boot.fs files for 1.6.1 from
ftp.netbsd.org and it worked great. I am installing as we speak.

This machine is a PowerTowerPro with a Newer G3 card (300/200 I believe).

The machine I originally had trouble with using the old bootloader was a
7300 with a Newr G3 card (275/275). It has since gone into service off
site, and cannot be used for testing again.

But, like I said, everything worked fine on the PowerTowerPro with the
latest two boot.fs files using boot fd:0 from the serial console (OF).
