completely clear...

I had thought that using an ISO9660 cd I should be able to either:

load ofwboot.xcf from a HFS partition, and netbsd.gz from a cd.

or

directly load the netbsd kernel form OF.


Unless I was just getting the syntax wrong, this doesn't work...

anyhow, I've managed to burn an ISO/HFS hybrid, with the correct netbsd.gz
file, and am currently installing away...


huzzah... :-)


thanks for all your help people...
