SUCCESS!!!! I was able to boot into NetBSD! I needed to tweak Open Firmware, specifically: 0 > nvalias disk /pci@fef00000/scsi@c/sd@a,0:4 ok 0 > setenv boot-device /pci@fef00000/scsi@c/sd@a,0:4 This is thanks to the following website: http://www.arbeitsplatzvernichtung-durch-outsourcing.de/marty44/ibmb50.html You should include this information somewhere on the NetBSD page. The default boot-device was missing :4 (my 5th entry was /boot). Below is dmesg. Cheers.
