Thanks for the pointer!  I saw Bill mentioned in another posting that OF 
3.1.1 doesn't play to well with ofwboot, but that's the version my system 
has and it successfully booted (or more correctly loaded) ofwboot.elf, 
ofwboot.xcf and netbsd.  I suspect what he means is that ofwboot has 
problems dealing with the filesystem and may not sucessfully find the 
file to boot.  This happens on my system so the advice to first try 
booting with "boot cd:netbsd" is excellent advice.
