4400/200: success!
Okay, with the keyboard connected via wires stuck into the connectors,
cmd-option-O-F got me into OF. I fumbled around for quite a while,
unable to figure out how to name the disk drive, until I finally in
desperation opened the box in case I'd left the disk disconnected or
some such.
Turned out I'd reconnected the 40-pin data cable - but not power.
*facepalm*
With that fixed, it booted from ata/ata-disk@0:,\ofwboot.xcf very
nicely. Well, almost; it did print "bad partition number, using 0" but
it then proceeded to successfully boot the system I left on that disk
back in...well, dumpfs on / says "Mon Mar 9 02:14:31 2009".
But I now have a working macppc machine again! I just need to find
that battery holder so I don't need to reset everything every time I
leave it powered off for more than a few moments.
