Did you try to just boot without 'dir' or 'show-children'?
 boot scsi-int/sd@2:0,\ofwboot.xcf
I've had trouble with show-children from time to time, but can always boot.

If you're using the CD-ROM drive to boot off, you command should be:
  boot scsi-int/sd@0:0,\ofwboot.xcf
and not as above with '2:0'.
