I have a buddy over who wants to put OpenBSD 3.8 on his macppc G3

by the cd and boot into the mac os. Any ideas what we might be doing wrong?
Thanks!

If this is an oldworld (before circa 1988) you cannot boot from a cd.
Google your model to see if it is. Otherwise, you could try to boot the
laptop while pressing cmd+opt+shift+delete to skip the first bootable
device....I believe it is something like that.
You may also look into the ramdisk booting method, if your machine will
not boot off of a cd.
Good Luck,
