Ah!

Well, I just did a quick check and the one in the 1.6 release 
directory doesn't work.  Doesn't even get as far as a keyboard 
problem.  I suspect this is a Jaguar issue.

boot hd:9,ofwboot.xcf -a

prints some flickering stuff in grey-on-grey and then goes to a stop 
icon.  (The crossed circle, center of the screen.)

boot hd:9,\ofwboot.xcf hd:9,\netbsd

boots MacOS X.

Well if it isn't I'll try -current if I can.  I know I saw some 
traffic on it.  I see there aren't any post 1.6 snapshots yet.

SIRTF just postponed launch from January to Tax Day (launch pad 
conflict with a GPS satellite), and I got permission to take a 
vacation over Christmas as a result.
