OK.

:)Could i install netbsd from an HFS partition anyway ?

Kind of.  You can boot from an HFS partition, but you cannot store the
distribution sets (base.tgz, etc.tgz, etc...) on HFS.

Drag ofwboot.xcf and netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz to the top level of your HFS drive.

:)I didn't suceeded to make a bootable apple cdrom.

For Open Firmware 3 systems, bootable CD-ROMs must be "hybrid" and have
ofwboot.xcf on the HFS and netbsd.GENERIC_MD.gz and the distribution sets
on the ISO9660 filesystem.

Good luck.
