+Now, you can reboot to get to the Open Firmware prompt.  Once there, you
+can set Open Firmware to always boot into 
+.Nx
+from the media of your choice.  First, make sure you know what command you
+need to use to boot (see above).  If you are using a 
+.Sq partition zero
+style boot scheme, you would type something like the following:
+.Pp
+.Dl 0 > Ic "setenv auto-boot? true"
+.Dl 0 > Ic "setenv boot-device scsi/sd@0:0"
+.Dl 0 > Ic "setenv boot-file netbsd"
+.Pp
+replacing 
+.Ic scsi/sd@0:0
+with the actual device you will be booting from.  If you find that your
+system tries booting before your hard drive has spun up, you may need to
+also enter something like:
+.Pp
+.Dl 0 > Ic "setenv boot-command begin ['] boot catch 1000 ms cr again"
+.Pp
+If you are not using a
