>Description:
I installed NetBSD on my new powerbook using the install directions.  The only differences were that I also added a /usr and /home partition and used a different file system ufs2.  I did a newfs -O2 /dev/wd0? command to create the filesystems.  I did it on all partitions.  It seemed to install alright but it failed to boot from open firmware using the command

boot hd:,ofwboot.xcf hd:4,/netbsd

I had previously copied the ofwboot.xcf onto my first hfs partition containing osx.  I messed around with every command I could think of and could get nothing to work.  I then reinstalled netbsd again but reformated each partition with regular ffs and walla the above command had me booting into netbsd and all was well.  I again reinstalled it with ufs2 and it again failed.  I am now running netbsd under regular ffs and it is running well.  My guess would be there is a problem with Netbsds ofwboot.xcf on 2.0.2.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install netbsd on a AL powerbook 15" 1.65 ghz with newfs -O2 /dev/.. for all the partitions and install and try to boot into netbsd.
