First the constructive correction to the FAQ (is the right person 
listening?).  To boot from a DOS floppy you need to specify partition 
number 1 as in

boot fd:1,ofwboot.xcf

It may not be needed for OF >= 2, but it is for OF 1.0.5 on my test 
machine.  Of course it then says that the file is in an invalid 
format so I assume I have a binary/ascii transfer problem somewhere 
as well.

Second the generic plea for help.  Is it really true that you can't 
get OF to boot a file from a HFS partition?  I certainly haven't 
gotten anywhere trying, but I thought that should be possible.

Is it really true that bootxx conflicts with the Apple Partition Map? 
You can't have boot blocks understood by OF and an APM on the same 
disk?

Given the above two problems, how would one set up an OF 1.0.5 
machine to boot into NetBSD?  I suppose I can create a boot CD-ROM 
and set up some options so that ofwboot.xcf will cross-boot from the 
hard disk.  Even if I can solve the auto-eject problem a floppy is 
just too damn slow for normal use.

Any documentation on ofwboot anywhere?  I think it takes some command 
line options, but I'm not sure where to look.
