FYI.. I tried booting the NetBSD 10.0 CD for macppc yesterday on a
PowerBook G4 12" (with OF 3). The ISO, burned as a hybrid CD, would not
boot (by pressing the "C" key at boot or by selecting the CD option in
the Yaboot menu). I was able to boot what looked like the initial
bootloader from OF using:

0 > boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

But the installation kernel did not seem to boot. So I was not able to
install NetBSD 10.0 on my PB G4 12". I haven't tried any OF 1/2 systems
(Lombard would be a good test case for early OF, since GRUB for Linux
does not work there, though it does work on Pismo). Are you trying to
make macppc bootable also on Old World systems with OF (such as
Wallstreet), or only on New World systems?
