Success booting NetBSD on a PowerComputing PowerWave 604/120 w/
OpenFirmware 1.0.5, ATI graphics card and an Apple 16" monitor 832x624.
Creating the boot floppy proved the most tedious part. I went through a
number of recycled compuserve/aol diskettes before one worked. Had to use
DiskCopy4.2 to write the image to floppy.
Used the BootVars1.3 utility to set the OF device tree.
boot-device: fd:0
input-device: kbd
