:)You can fudge this by setting up a system as for dual-boot, but just

Right, I was trying to get at the fact that you still need to boot MacOS to
format your drive and put ofwboot.xcf on an HFS(+) partition.
NetBSD/macppc doesn't yet have native tools to do the
partitioning/formatting, and the tools to copy files to an HFS partition
aren't part of the installation set.
