Thanks, Henry

I did try boot hd:9,ofwboot.elf hd:9,netbsd.ram.gz
What I got was "could not find: hd:9,netbsd.ram.gz/netbsd or something like
that.  So then I tried hd:9,ofwboot.elf cd:,netbsd.ram.gz
and I tried hd:9,ofwboot.elf cd:,macppc:installation:netbsd.ram.gz
Both methods failed.

I am getting very discouraged,  I only wish that the BSD community would try
what the mklinux install had, but modified for the CUBE.
