iso/1.6/macppc_bootable.iso works fine on my UMAX Apus2000
(which is identical machine with C500) though it requires
"[CTRL]+[CMD]+[POWER]" after the first DEFAULT CATCH.
(maybe buggy OF issue. see attached log)

Note valkyrie console on Apus/C500 is not supported
so you need to use serial console.

On OF 2.0 machines, "boot scsi/sd@3:0" is enough.
The image contains the apple partition map for such machines
to load bootxx and that's the reason it is hybrid format.

The message really indicates read errors.
Try other floppies or clean up your drive.
