Who out there is using a floppy disk to boot their /macppc unit? What process
did you use to make it?

Since NVRAM refuses to store my huge OF boot string for my 7300's internal
ATA card, I'm going to go for this approach.

It sounds like I ought to be able to take a FAT floppy, put ofwboot.xcf and
my kernel.gz on it (which is hardcoded to find the main filesystem on wd0a),
and then boot fd:0,ofwboot.xcf. Does this sound correct?
