Things aren't looking to good on the Boot front.  Just tried booting 
2.0C (built from 4-11 sources) on three different PPC Macs.  This uses 
V1.9 of ofwboot.xcf using:
	0> boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

B&W G3: PowerMac1,1  1.1f4 BootROM
	Gets a DEFAULT CATCH 900

eMac:  PowerMac4,4   4.4.2a3 BootROM
	Gets a DEFAULT CATCH 300

PowerBook (12" 867 Mhz)  PowerMac6,1   4.5.5f4 BootROM
	Gets a Decrementer exception

Also tried an older CD with V1.2 of ofwboot.xcf:

Boots on the B&W G3
Gets Decrementer exception on the PowerBook
Didn't try on the eMac

Is this version of ofwboot working for others on similar machines?  Are 
there other new tricks that folks have starting using which I missed?

Thanks,
