Hm.  I had thought that ofwboot tried more than one kernel name (...like the
other, ahem, sane libsa booters do :), including "netbsd.macppc".  If it
doesn't, this is a bug that must be fixed, and I'll file a PR.  All libsa
booters should fall back to "netbsd.MACHINE" if opening "netbsd" fails.

Yah.  I'd been fiddling with the hide-hfs stuff because it doesn't work
quite right.  The pattern matching employed by mkisofs frankly sucks.

It's necessary to hide many of the files from HFS on a multi-arch CD,
because a HFS filesystem makes mkisofs align files differently (resulting in
a **much** bigger filesystem if everything is also included in HFS).  I'll
try to make sure that the HFS side includes the install notes, and may
upload a replacement image that does this later.
