boot hd will boot macos if it's on the drive. You have to have the
firmware booting something which will look for the kernel. Grab
ofwboot.xcf and try "boot hd:5,ofwboot.xcf" and see if that gets you into
ofwboot.

I think it's still 6c0000, though I think I had to make it 600000 to get
new kernels to boot on my OF 2.0 beige G3.
