>Description:
On a 1.3Ghz 12" PowerBook (PowerBook6,4) with OpenFirmware version 4.8.3f1, issuing dir cd:, reports:
<DIR> 00-00-1900 00:00:00 . SP ER CE
<DIR> 00-00-1900 00:00:00 ..
<DIR> 12-03-2016 12:25:10 MACPPC PX TF NM
2616859 12-03-2016 12:26:55 NETBSD.;1 PX TF TM
89382 12-03-2016 12:26:57 OFWBOOT.XCF;1 PX TF NM
the filenames contain a ;1 suffix which causes fallout when following documentation as traditionally, the loader has been called ofwboot.xcf (upper or lower case) and not ofwboot.xcf;1
causing lots of wasted time wondering why boot cd:,OFWBOOT.XCF is not working.
The bootable CD ROM doc indicates that the ;1 should not be there.

Which needs to be corrected, the documentation or the iso?
>How-To-Repeat:
burn NetBSD-7.99.43-macppc.iso to CD & issue dir cd:, in openfirmware
Try to boot from said CD using boot cd:,OFWBOOT.XCF (or in lowercase)
