OK, so just to be clear, you're saying the only way to netboot your iBook
is the following sequence of commands:

0 > reset-all
0 > dev enet:0
0 > boot enet:0,ofwboot.xcf enet:/netbsd

Is that right?

And you're saying the following (as recommended in the INSTALL notes) does not:
0 > boot enet:0,ofwboot.xcf enet:0,/netbsd

Which model iBook?  See
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=88039 for help figuring out
what model you've got.

:)Sorry, just want to get this in the archives for searches.

:)It looks like it only works when I start with a:
:)
:)0 > dev enet:0

:)Maybe some OF prom expert can explain this?

:)I find netbooting (running diskless) NetBSD on the iBook quite useful.
:)Now I can experiment with NetBSD without having to reformat my disk.
:)When I am satisfied with NetBSD I can reformat and install it on my
:)disk.
