>Description:
Booting via ofwboot should fall back to netbsd.${MACHINE} after trying
netbsd, e.g. to make it easier to support booting multiple platforms
from one CD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to boot macppccd.iso from ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/misc/iso
(under OFW3).
Watch it fail, because the CD only contains netbsd.macppc, but not netbsd.
>Fix:
None provided. Should be a SMOP.
Workaround:
"boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc"
