I tried almost the same setup, except for boot being FAT and not HFS.
But how to format it?

I rebooted with the 10.4 install CD. I used the command line to format
it as msdos, since diskutility only allows it as HFS (or it remakes the
whole disk label).

I wonder that I cannot list (dir hd:0,\) in OF... but it is empty. How
knows.
If that proves too hard, I might try HFS.

I need to get into netbsd again and copy ofwboot.xcf in the bootp
artition, right? How to do that?

I thought of dual mounting from the installer cdrom both boot partitions
and copy it.

I don't know which partition it is, since disklabel doesn't see it.
