Hi,

I want to try NetBSD/ofppc on a Pegasos board. I tried to boot it
directly, but it hangs without showing any message. ofwboot seems to
work, but I can't see any way to use it to boot the kernel (no UFS
partitions or floppy disk on this machine). My questions:

- Why is ofwboot needed at all?
- Has anyone patches to boot directly from OF?

TIA,
  Jorge Acereda
