Check if the 'cd' devalias points at The Right Thing. Try to boot using
the complete device path ( boot <devicepath>,\ofwboot.xcf
hd:<number>/<kernel name> )

I /think/ Chris Tribo runs NetBSD on such a machine ( or at least on
something fairly similar )

I don't need to set real-base and load-base on any of my macppc boxes
for quite some time now ( one has OF 1.0.5, the other 3.something ) - in
fact setting them seemed to cause trouble with 1.0.5

have fun
