Re: Working with OF3 multi-boot and default settings

[Donald Lee <MacPPC2%caution.icompute.com@localhost>]

Anything that can make the NetBSD boot process more seamless with Mac
procedures, and less fragile is pure goodness.  The idea of using an
OF script as a bridge between the standard "multi-boot" and
NetBSD is cool.    This technique could be used, for instance, to
make a CD that would boot by holding down the "c" on the keyboard,
and go directly to NetBSD.

Thank you for posting this.
