On this basis you should be able to do:
boot ide0/disk@0,OFWBOOT.XCF;1 NETBSD.MACPPC;1
If that doesn't work then try inserting a ":0" or ":1" or ":2" in
front of the comma (without the quotes).
Remember to "reset-all" between attempts, and double-check that the
*-base settings didn't get clobbered.
If you can do the "dir" then you are really close because it means
you know where the boot files live in Open Firmware terms.
