Greetings,

Well, it seems that I have gotten past the first stage of booting!! I think anyway.  I typed "boot hd:ofwboot.xcf"  and I got a response to the effect of the following:

NetBSD/macppc
some guy's name
blah, blah, blah
boot:

Now, the last line where it says boot is where I am stuck.  I am assuming that it is looking for the kernel.  Well, I pointed to the kernel, which is unzipped on my hd, and it couldn't find it. I pointed to the zipped one on the cd, which is macppc bootable, and it couldn't find it.  Exactly, what am I supposed to do?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Salaam (Peace),

Vickie

Are you using OpenFirmware 3.x or OpenFirmware 1 or 2?  The INSTALL document
describes how to determine this.

The "boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf" command is *only* valid for OpenFirmware 3.x (and
2.4); previous OpenFirmware versions require a very different boot command.
