Hmmm.  Point taken, but that's not "the NetBSD way" since it'd have the 
same info duplicated in different locations, each having to be edited 
separately.

I'd be more inclined to rip everything out of the INSTALL notes except 
booting from the official CD-R.  Burners are very common and almost all 
supported models have built-in CD-ROM drives.  Either that, or expand 
the "quick guide for the impatient" and only describe OF 3 machines in 
that section.

But again, a bootloader that doesn't require the user to fight Open 
Firmware would be the real solution.
