Hello All,

I have good news.

After that I set up the variables ( ' load-base and real-base ' ) and
used the lowercase letter, It's done.

I finally got to boot using the Media Cd-rom 3.0.2 yesterday.

0 > boot scsi/sd@4:0,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

Even the Firmware returm me one error "no active package", It's go
ahead and It's continued booting until the Main Menu Intallation.

I have news problems now. When I finish the installation netbsd 3.0.2
and when I'll take the package for this release, I perceive that there
aren't packages for it. So I made download of bash package, I forced
the installation, but It doesnt work.

Are there only packages for release 3.0?

Thanks at lot my friends,

regards,

Marcos
