ofwboot.elf won't work.

Try ofwboot.xcf. You can find one at
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/misc/wrstuden/ofwboot.xcf . Note you'll
have to:

setenv LOADBASE 0x6c0000

before loading this file as otherwise it won't work (XCOFF sucks in that
respect).

I _think_ LOADBASE is the name of the right variable. The list will
correct me if I'm wrong (I hope :-).

Take care,
