In my experience, OF 3.* doesn't allow a raw partition as bootable
area. There is a code to check if partition number is 0 in OF.
There are some plans that make small HFS partition where we put the
kernel or second-stage boot loader to avoid this problem. Older
versions of OF also happy with HFS boot partition. The other way is
that implement our netbsd-boot OF command in FORTH and put it into
nvramrc.
