I'm unable to boot my new installation of NetBSD. I used sysinst to put 
NetBSD on the internal harddisk of my eMac (Open Firmware 3). I've got 
Mac OS X on an external FireWire disk.

I can boot the ofwboot.xcf from the external fw disk, but I have no 
luck with regards to the netebsd kernel. My boot syntax for the 
boot-file is somehow wrong.

 > boot fw/[lost of numbers I don't remember],\ofwboot.xcf hd:2,/netbsd

It gets the ofwboot.xcf loaded but says: Cannot open hd:2,/netbsd and 
ends up with a "Boot:" prompt.

I also tried

 > boot fw/[lost of numbers I don't remember],\ofwboot.xcf 
ide0/disk@0:2,/netbsd

with the same effect.

Thanks in advance.

Daniel
