ok.
we have it booting from the CDROM, using macppc.iso, like this:
boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc
thanks to Joseph Francois for this tidbit..
both of us tho had initial problems with the kernel finding the
original IDE hard drive.
so.. this particular machine has an adaptec 2940uw scsi
controller (i think anyway) and a quantum atlas III hdd.
netbsd found this disk just fine.. we are in the process of
booting from the scsi disk now (sigh.. i hate having to go back
to OF yet again once netbsd is installed :)
thanks for the help.
