The same problem of 
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2003/09/14/0004.html
on NetBSD/macppc-current(20061229) 4.99.4 GENERIC kernel

Machine Environment:
Power Mac G4 400MHz/AGP/Firewire/USB1.1
RAM PC100 CL3 768MB(256+256+128+128)
macally US-layout USB Keyboard with 2 bus-power ports
attaches USB mouse ELECOM 3Buttons with wheel

When I setenv auto-boot? false and 
setenv boot-device hd:2,\ofwboot.xcf
setenv boot-file hd:3,/netbsd
reset-all
and type manually
0>boot, it boots and there's no problem.

However, when I setenv auto-boot? true,
the white-screen-of-death appears and
the machine shows no reply(Even Command+Ctrl+PWRON doesn't function).
No icon appears, so I must have pushed power button of G4 for 10 secs.

Regards,
Ryo Chiba
