Re: Booting straight in disk with install ofwboot.elf iso.

However, when I try to use disklabel after to execute dd command, disklabel doesn't record my edition in disk (it says which there is an inconsistency between disk and label or something like that).

Maybe "NetBSD/macppc Partitioning HOW-TO" might help:
 https://www.netbsd.org/ports/macppc/partitioning.html

Usually the native NetBSD disklabel won't work on OF 3.x machines,
unless FDISK partition is used.

(note it looks possible Openfirmware 2.0 machines can also boot
 from a disk with Apple partition map by pdisk, by editing APM
 entries and installing bootloaders manually)
