I sued the parition 0 method (my entire disk is Netbsd). So I set my
boot-device to scsi-int/sd@0:0
Then boot-file netbsd.

Look like you are mainly using the disk for NetBSD, with just an HFS
partition for booting?? I am not sure why you would want to do this (I
have not done this.. Is there a reason?). I made my entire disk NetBSD and
just use the partition 0 loading. Works great, and no booting to MacOS aat
all, or HFS partitions.
Now if I could only get my caches on my NewerTech G3 card to work...
