Mike,

I appreciate the suggestions.

I don't have an HFS partition.  I don't have a MACOSX cd, nor do I know
anybody who has one.  The netbsd pdisk util cores everytime I touch the
drive with it.

I want the box to boot on its own and not have to handle the extra TFTP
and NFS mounting.

I have installed OpenBSD instead.  I installes a FAT or FAT32 partition
as 'i' in it's partition list that boots the OFWBoot file from.

Thanks again.
