Check OpenFirmware home page at <http://playground.sun.com/1275/>.
Also check OpenBoot collection at <http://docs.sun.com/> (and FCode
manuals will be useful too, I think).

Check

    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/
    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/programming.html

in particular 

  "Device Configuration in 4.4BSD" by Chris Torek:
    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/config-torek.ps

and 

  "A Machine-Independent DMA Framework for NetBSD" by Jason Thorpe
    http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/kernel/bus_dma.ps
