Hi all,

Just installed NetBSD 2.0 onto my Mac mini, but I can't get OF to boot it.

Partitions on the disk are
  1  HFS+
  2  UFS, /
  3  swap
  4  UFS, /usr

I put ofwboot.xcf onto the first (HFS+) partition. 

I try to boot with
  > boot hd:1,\ofwboot.xcf
but not matter what partition number i use (1-12), all I get is
  MAC-PARTS: specified partition is not valid can't OPEN hd:1,\ofwboot.xcf

What's all that about?
