Hello,

As far as I'm aware there is currently no other way to boot
NetBSD/macppc than OpenFirmware. Discussions about starting the kernel
from MacOS ( like mac68k does ) or using a loader that can be understood
by the Mac ROM ( like http://emile.sourceforge.net/, 68k only so far )
flare up now and then but didn't yield any code so far.

have fun
Michael
