I used binary mode while downloading the ISO and I verified the checksum.

I made sure the disc was finalized.

In Open firmware I can see the files on the root of the cd with :

0 > dev cd
0 > dir cd:

This lists the OFWBOOT.XCF;1 and NETBSD.MACPPC;1 files just fine.

I wonder if I should added extra parameters to the end as another person
did in the list.

0 > boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc load-size=25c0 adler32=42ncebdc

This is from the person installing to the 12' powerbook.

How does one figure out the load-size and the adler32 address/register?
