Hi!

I'm pretty new in Mac World and Unix so please be patient with me :)

I have successfully installed NetBSD on my PowerMac G4 1Ghz
(Open Firmware 3) but I can't boot in NetBSD.
I've tried some Open Firmware commands I found in the INSTALLnetbsd.html and
some like these :

0 > boot ide1@0:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd
0 > boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf ide1@0:,\netbsd
0 > boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf ide1@0:,/netbsd
0 > boot ide1@0:,\ofwboot.xcf /netbsd

it writes something rapidly and then It shows a grey forbidden / stop  
sign. Like the one of ghost busters  :)

So I will keep on trying, while waiting for some help.

Thank you for your time.
