Or 
  (3-1) try using CD-ROM first,

  boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:4/netbsd

  Then get hfsutils installed, find the partition # with
  disklabel (as wd0x) and
  hformat /dev/wd0x
  hmount  /dev/wd0x 
  hcopy ofwboot.xcf :

>     2:           Apple_HFS Apple_HFS_Boot    112640 @ 64       ( 55.0M)
>     3:          Apple_Boot eXternal booter    17408 @ 112704   (  8.5M)

By the way,
My mini shows following table.
I made them almost by hand with pdisk.

ttyp0:root@mini  8:17:38/050225(...powerpc/All)# pdisk /dev/wd0c
Edit /dev/wd0c -
Command (? for help): P
