Prior to OF 3 that is true for the current standard NetBSD tools. 
OF3 understands the Apple Partition Map and can read the boot program 
directly.  The boot setup we use of OF1-2 only works with a NetBSD 
partition map.

That said, there has been a lot of thought about other ways it could 
be done.  Try searching the archives for MBR partitioning, since that 
shows some promise of working across all OF versions, and it will 
pick up Bill Studenmund's 9/23/02 post on alternatives.  Post again 
if you feel like playing around with it.
