Put the files ofwboot.elf (and/or ofwboot.xcf) at the root level of the 
CD. Also place an ungziped copy of the NetBSD Installation Kernel at the 
root level and name it "netbsd".

Use the Command-Option-O-F keys to boot into OpenFirmWare.  At the prompt 
enter:

boot cd:ofwboot.elf

or

boot cd:ofwboot.xcf

If that doesn't work you can try:

boot cd:netbsd

One of the first two _should_ boot up the Installation Kernel from the CD 
and allow you to install the system.  I works on some systems, but not on 
all systems. If anyone can add to this or explain the possible failures 
it would certainly help.
