Well, I got NetBSD 1.6.1 installed, thank you for the good advice!
Because I didn't own a Mac OS 9 or OS X installation set anymore, I
tried pdisk again with success (I didn't recognized, that newfs is
capable to handle pdisk-created partitions because my partition schema
looked equivalent to that one I created with disklabel at the first try).
Currently I use the ofwboot.xcf loader from the installation cd, but in
the evening I plan to use hfsutils to format my boot partition and place
the ofwboot.xcf loader there.
Ok, I think I'll hack a short Howto for installing NetBSD without Mac OS
tools as stand-alone OS on a iBook.
