I get the usual "Unrecognized client > program..." I'm mystified as to how cd0 works when there's no cd0.... Anyway. Another thing is, is this a multi-cd? Or a macppc only cd? IIRC, the multi-cd's won't work with the first form of the boot command, requiring something like: boot cd:\OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.MAC (possibly with the ;1 appended to each part). I've been going at this with the 4.0.1 images, and got the macppc only cd to boot with the first two variants (although using cd instead of cd0). > I found an OS X disk, and I'll try partitioning, etc. Good luck! (I had to install netbsd first so as to get at the mac's dvdrw to burn a bootable cd.... While I got ofwboot.xcf to work from cds and hds, I haven't gotten it to work over netboot.)
