It's a 'Mirrored Drive Doors' model with a FW 800. (2003)
I have 2 hard disks. One for MacOSX and one for NetBSD but not on the same
cable.
I guess NetBSD is on an ATA-66.
When I was installing NetBSD I left The partition table as it was. I also
have copied
ofwboot.xcf to the hark disk MacOSX lives,
under root directory'/' and It already exists on the installation CD.
Latley i guess i made some progress :)
Now the boot procedure stops at this point.
