The install notes were right when they said that the
most frustrating part is dealing with the OFW!

I have a PowerMac 7300, OFW 1.05, on which I am trying
to install NetBSD 1.5.1.  I have managed to bring up OFW
on /chaos/control, but none of the boot methods listed in the
INSTALL document seemed to work for me --
enet - CLAIM error
fd - READ TIMEOUT
scsi-int/sd@3:0 (NetBSD Mission CD) - CANT OPEN

Should I give up on the enet and CD boot methods, and see if
making another floppy does the trick?  What have other people
done to get an initial install to work on this hardware?
