I've found a workaround.
For some strange reason this version of OF3 doesn't properly load
ofwboot.xcf from the CD. To get around it do this:
- copy ofwboot.xcf to your HFS(+) partition
- boot hd:ofwboot.xcf cd:0/NETBSD.MACPPC;1
Or boot over the network ( boot enet:0 ) - all it needs is DHCP, a TFTP
server that knows about ofwboot.xcf and an NFS server with the kernel
and so on.=20

have fun
Michael
