I successfully installed my fairly new powerbook with about half the 
first part of the hard drive as mac osx and leaving the rest for netbsd. 
  I put ofwboot.xcf on the mac hfs partition and am able to get into the 
netbsd openfirmware boot prompt with an device error leaving me at

Boot:

   When i do

0 > printenv boot-device I get

---------------------- Partition: common ---------- Signiture: 0x70 ---
boot-device	pci2/ata-6@D/@0.3,\\:tbxi hd:,\\:tbxi

Which is obviously different than what is given in the Install.notes.  I 
have seen many boot hd:, type commands but have been unable to boot 
netbsd.  I can boot into osX fine.  My netbsd setup is identical to what 
is in the install notes plus a /usr partition and a /home partition. 
OSX Disk utility gives me 5 partitions which should be correct.  They 
are Mac HD, disk0s4, disk0s5, disk0s6, disk0s7 if that is any help.  Any 
help would be much appreciated in getting it to boot up.  Thank you in 
advance.
