Previously, I was able to boot from the OF command line but last time I
installed it did not work?

try...

setenv boot-device ata0@0:0
reset-all
boot

I think I got it to work w/o the boot-file == netbsd and left it blank.

If you have problems and swear the command you typed is correct try
rebooting the machine. I _think_ the computer is using the old
environment parameters prior to reboots. Not sure just my guess from
what I have seen playing w/it.

DO NOT set auto-boot? to true. When I did this the screen back lighting
did not come on and I need to flashlight (to reflect off the screen) to
read it.

HTH.
