After struggling for a couple of days, I managed to get an 8500/120 to 
boot a custom-built CD. The problem, as it turned out, was that OF was 
appending ";1" to all the filenames, so the command ended up looking 
like:

scsi-int/sd@3:0,OFWBOOT.XCF;1 NETBSD.GZ;1

The standard install CD is a hybrid, so I could "dir" it in OF. I spent 
many hours cursing at the thing before building my own CD. The custom 
CD was pure ISO9660, so I could "dir" it and immediately saw that OF 
was appending the ";1" to all (both) of the filenames.

Once I booted the machine, everything went smoothly. I'm setting up 
pkgsrc to use CVS to update as I type.

Is this a known problem, or is my 8500 just precocious? I didn't see 
any mention of it in any of the install docs (this is the first 1.0.5 
machine I've installed onto). Perhaps the documentation needs to be 
updated?

If anyone else wants a pure ISO9660 boot-CD to use, I can put the ISO 
(all 2.5 MB of it) online.
