Hi all,

I've been playing with the source of ofwboot hacked by Dan
Jacobowitz, (Thanks Dan!) and successfully booted up ELF
kernel which is attached with ofwboot from floppy disk.

The problem is that it doesn't find root partition when it
boots.  It seems that NetBSD/powerpc doesn't recognize Apple
partition map which is used NetBSD/mac68k, dosen't it?

Also, though I'm using Winbond's NE2000 compatible PCI
Ethernet card under MacOS since the machine has no on-board
Ethernet, it has no OpenFirmware support.  So NFS booting
will be hard.

Info of my system:

Power Macintosh clone, 604e, 32MB memory.No ATA devices.

Here's boot record I tracked down by hand.

<< I reset the machine phisically to enable the changes. >>

0 > boot fd:netbsd.xcf loading XCOFF

I tried ofdisk0[a-p], ofdisk1[a-p] and got no success.  It
doesn't recognize my MO drive.

What's I'm missing?  Any ideas?
