Awful, but not AWOL ;)
I'll update the docs as soon as
- there is clear consent what works where - to me it looks like
  ofwboot.xcf works on old world machines, some new world machines need
  ofwboot.elf. Does that match everyone's experiences? Do we need to
  put ofwboot.elf on the install ISOs?
- I figure out where on cvs.netbsd.org the docs are...
- I have time to do it

have fun
