I have a G3 Blue and White that I am trying to get NetBSD 3.0 to install
onto.  The Open Firmware version is 3.1.1 and the BootRom is 1.1f4.  I
thought this may be too old, but I read a few forum threads at Apple
that this is the most current for this box.

0 > boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

this gives me "unrecognized Client Program format"

I read other forums and mailing list threads and people say the bootrom
needs updating.  Can some let me know what I am missing?

0 > dir cd:

gives me a list of the OFWBOOT.XCF and NETBSD.MACPPC files on the cd.

I know it can see it and my hard drive.

Thanks in advance,

Dale Offret Jr.
