>Description:
The NetBSD/prep ISO is lacking the required "PPC PReP Boot" partition to allow the ISO to be bootable, making an installation of NetBSD/prep impossible by CD.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a PReP box, write the ISO, try to boot. Nothing.
>Fix:
Figure out how to get the boot partition and booter into the ISO.
