I have already tried that, it apparently did find the kernel, said something
about load size etc, then "Loading ELF" and the machine locked up solid (had
to use the reset switch in the I/O bay). I have also tried to use BootX from
the linuxppc camp, which also freezes the machine. I've even tried to burn a
boot floppy image onto a CD-ROM, but that didn't work either, even crashed
the finder when I inserted the CD under MacOS.

What other OF settings would that be ? load address? boot-path etc. ?
Did you actually manage to boot NetBSD successfully?
