I've carefully read through the install notes, and I've made it
all the way throught the installation of NetBSD 1.5.2 to my
Powermac 7300 on an internal scsi disk, using the macppc iso
cdrom image.

Everything seemed to work fine, partioned the disks, installed
sets, created device files, root passwd, etc.

Now I can't figure out the right incantation to get things to boot!

I've got load-base and real-base set properly.
The two variables that I think are most likely borked are
boot-file and boot-device.  I have them set as follows:

printenv boot-file
boot-file   NETBSD

(I've also tried "netbsd")

printenv boo-device
boot-device scsi-int/sd@0:0  /AAPL,ROM


I've tried changing 0:0 to 1:0, etc. all the way up to 13:0.
No joy.

I also can't get the dir command to work.  I must not be addressing
the scsi disk on the system properly, and ideas?

I booted onto the install cd with this command:

boot scsi-int/sd@3:0,OFWBOOT.XCF NETBSD.MACPPC 

and that worked fine.

so why doesn't 

dir scsi-int/sd@3:0,\

work?

This is a working machine, it runs MacOS fine.
