Apparently Apple didn't get OFW right until 3.0, but 2.4 seems to be
better that 2.0 anway :)

That's right of course. Maybe I had been awake for too long when I did
the first installation attempt. However, the way I did it was to set
boot-device to enet: and boot-file to netbsd, so the box grabbed
ofwboot.xcf via bootp/tftp. The internal hard drive is detected as sd0,
bus 0, target 0, lun 0, so it's safe to assume is a SCSI drive.
However after the installation I haven't found a way to have the
machine boot by itself. Setting the boot-device to scsi/sd@0:0 gave me an
error message saying it couldn't be openned. I've tried other
combinations without success, and 0 bootr doesn't seem to help either.
Any ideas?
