How do I make a disk bootable, and what are the Open Firmware commands to boot from it?
This depends entirely on what version of Open Firmware your machine has, and what you’re trying to boot from. Read the “Preparing the Bootable Media” and “Open Firmware boot syntax” sections of the NetBSD/macppc 3.1 Install Notes. See also the section called “Which version of Open Firmware does my machine have?”, the ofwboot(8) man page, the installboot(8) man page.
