OK, I'll update these.  I also have .hqx (TEXT/BnHq), .gz (TEXT/GNUz), .tgz
(TEXT/GNUz).

I had originally set up .txt as TEXT/ttxt, presuming that better text
readers might `take over' that creator ID, but I'll put MOSS in there
instead.

: If you set up ofwboot.xcf right, you should be able to boot Open Firmware 3

[!!!]  Had I known this, it'd have been set up that way from the get-go.
I'll make sure the next ISOs for macppc include the correct creator/type for
ofwboot.

Although, would this have the usual problem of not finding the right kernel
name (netbsd.macppc)?  Something to try....

: BTW, the NetBSD/macppc 1.5.1 CD image has all of the files with creator
: nbsd.  While that's kinda cool, it'd probably be better if they were MSIE,
: MOSS, or ttxt.

The hfsmap.lst defaults for unknown extensions (those which weren't .hqx,
.tzt, .ps, .gz, or .tgz) are "nbsd"; the list you gave above should help
clarify them in future ISOs.
