I know entire disk works with intel Macs, and I remember that
there was some discussion of entire partition working on PPC
Macs back when Apple went pure insane. But does entire disk
work with all PPC Macs?
If so, what does one do instead of ofwboot, since there is no
PCBIOS and the 4-DOS-partition paradigm doesn't hold?
And, which machines does entire partition work on?

Did you do that from Mac OS or from openbsd?

What format is wd0a? HFS+? or openbsd's native format? (What was it, now, I
wish I weren't losing my memory.)
Anyway, I'm thinking that wd0a is probably not a place you'll be able to talk
the open firmward boot ROM into reading ofwboot from. Especially if you used
the default partitioning scheme.
