As a stopgap?  That should be fine.  (Presuming you have *no* MacOS install
left...  if you do, you can put it on that partition.)

The boot command should be similar to:

    boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:,netbsd

I'm not sure if that will actually work; you may need to supply the
ask-for-kernel option (...ofwboot.xcf -a).
