I have read the INSTALL.html. Perhaps I did not get it all.

I created my own boot cd using Toast on the Mac.

I included the following files:

macppccd.iso
ofwboot.xcf

(This is after I read the comment #1 on the netbsd list)

I rebooted into Open Firmware.

I typed:

boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

For 3 seconds it began to boot, but then failed and gave me 
the prompt...

Boot:

I typed in netbsd
I typed in netbsd.macppc

Still nothing. It showed the computer was looking on my 
media bays...soemthing something...but could not find the 
file I was specifying.

This makes me think it was looking on my harddrive.

My only question is:

On the cd I created I have the files I mentioned above. 
When I try to get it to boot netbsd with the command:

boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

I wonder if I'm just not calling the file properly. The 
file isn't called netbsd.macppc, it's called macppccd.iso

Still stumped. I really appreciate your advice. I'm going 
to try everthing you mention.
