I believe that's the goal, although there's one problem.  Open Firmware 1.x
and 2.0.x systems can only boot from pure ISO volumes.  Open Firmware 3 can
only boot from a hybrid HFS/ISO volume with an Apple Partition Map.

This means that until we come up with a better booting scheme, there cannot
be one disk that boots all systems.

:)or maybe give me a hint as to the options to try with mkisofs, mkhybrid,
:)toast or Adaptec easy CD creator???

For your G4, you must make a hybrid disk.  Place ofwboot.xcf on the HFS
partition.  Place the netbsd kernel and the distribution filesets on the
ISO partition.

boot cd:ofwboot.xcf cd:netbsd.ram.gz

Good luck,
