Thanks Michael,

using no partition number (as was suggested) but with
lower case filenames and no version number(opposite to
your Suggestion), works , a bit...

boot scsi-int/sd@3:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

it starts to work, (at least sometimes)

the first time it threws up (on a netbsd 2.0.2 burnt
iso, allowing mac filenames)

loading XCOF
[..] and stops at

>> (jmc@faith.netbsd.org, Tue Mar 22 !5:50:28 UTC
2005)
no active packageread header
 start=0x0
DEFAULT CATCH!, code=FFF00300
 ok

I'd tried it again with various burnt disks, they did
the "unrecognised Client Program formatstate"

but back on the 2.0.2 disk I tried it again, and I saw
the word "congratulations" for a millsecond, screen
goes gray, and then the computer rebooted into mac os
8.5 which was on the first partition.. 

trying again at Open Firmware, it gets through loading
to different places, with diferent codes coming up.

At least the instructions warn you how hard it is.
