Should I make a snide comment about staying in NetBSD and why bother? 
Maybe not since I switch back and forth too.

 From an OF perspective you never do boot MacOS, you just boot the 
MacOS ROM.  The ROM in turn boots the real MacOS using the 
MacOS-documented process.  What you want to do is either bye or 
mac-boot depending on the OF version.

There should be a note printed at OF startup to tell you which to do. 
You could also try restarting with the C key held down, but no 
guarantees.
