Ok, good news. I'll take Pegasos1 for again a month.
My hdd with MOS-1.4.5/CRUXPPC-2.0 goes broken thus i've no interest to
reinstall MOS.
As i know the Pegasos1 firmware is able to read only msdos or amiga
partition table and FAT16, FFS or ISO9660 filesystems where put a
working bootkernel.

I just burned ofppccd-5.1.iso and tried to boot with:
boot cd NBSD/OFWBOOT
but the kernel freezes (or simply doesn't load) here too.

Do you have different bootkernels i can try?
I use to make iso, from gnu/linux machine, with test kernels with the
following command:
genisoimage -r -V TEST -iso-level 4 -chrp-boot -part -probe
-no-desktop -hide-rr-moved -o peg1.iso kernels/
with '-iso-level 4' the pegasos1 smartfirmware is able to fully read
long filenames.

cheers,
Nel
