Which OF patch? The only one I see mentioned is one for OF 1.05.

So, this would not be the same as the one in  
/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6/macppc/installation/?

I may try that, once I've exhausted my options.

Hmmm, I tried a variation on this, like so:

setenv boot-device ide0/disk@0:0,OFWBOOT.XCF;1
setenv boot-file NETBSD.MACPPC;1
reset-all
0 bootr

It displays:

loader: loading XCOFF
tsize=cbc0 dsize=14a8 bsize=2670 entry=640000

.bss		0064e4a8 0064e4a8 00002670 00000000
loading .text, done..
loading .data, done..
clearing .bss, done..

DEFAULT CATCH!, code=fff00300 at %SRR0: 00640018 %SRR1: 00003070

Is this better or worse than CLAIM failed? :-)
