First, you could fix the title of the HTML page : it reads "April 7"...
I read it quickly.
Perhaps, when creating a booting CD, could you recommend to put both
ofwboot.xcf AND boot.fs on th HFS partition. (it worked for me that way,=20=

except that was
on the pure HFS zip drive : 'boot zip:ofwboot.xcf zip:boot.fs' : telling=20=

'zip:' twice is important
since it doesn't work if written before 'ofwboot.xcf' only).
I haven't gone further in the install since it seems to be no way to do=20=

it
without destroying the partition map :-( (except doing everything by=20
hand, which I don't know how)

With OpenFirmware 3 you propose to partition the HD with macOS9 tool...=20=

but
in the following, the HD is - in all the cases - re-initialized by=20
sysinst...
Was that usefull for the solution you thought about, and that didn't=20
work ? (the one you talk about
in your next message e.g. :

Read it... and indeed that's what we are waiting for !!
Is the 'fully by hand' installation possible without another NetBSD=20
running on another drive ?
that is with macOS9 and macOSX only ?

Not so long when skipping the part one is not concern about ;-)
