Installing on a Power Macintosh G5

[Andreas Gustafsson <gson%gson.org@localhost>]

Hi all,

I'm trying to install NetBSD on a Power Macintosh G5,
but not having much luck.

https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-10.1/macppc/INSTALL.html
says the OFW boot command to boot from a CD is

  boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

but with NetBSD-10.1-macppc.iso, that results in the error message

  open netbsd.macppc: Device not configured

I also tried

  boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd

which gets further - it prints

  6752012+119828=0x68df5c
   start=0x100000
  No ADB support present, assuming USB keyboard

and then it hangs.

Any hints?  Or if you have successfully installed NetBSD on a G5,
what version of NetBSD was that?
