The boot kernel may be on any medium which is supported by ofwboot. So we
are not restricted to the firmware.

Looks like it didn't even start booting the kernel.

I just uploaded a recent kernel (for Pegasos1) and ofwboot to
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/phx/ofppc_peg1/

The usual method to test new kernels would be to boot ofwboot from a tftp
server, which then uses dhcp to boot the kernel from nfs.

When the new ofwboot doesn't work either, I can make a version with
debugging output.
