Still no progress with this... most probably, my box is not currently supported.
>From the message below, one of 2 things may be happening: - Either the ofwboot fails to load and jump into the bsd.rd, or - There is a very early crash in the kernel. I have another macppc box running obsd, so I am able to actually hack the kernel to try to figure out what's going on. Any ideas on where/how to start? Is it worth starting with the ofwboot or the problem is most probably on the kernel? (I was looking at the ofwboot code, and I can see some #ifdef __notyet__ there. Any hints on what this code is supposed to do? I know it is related with OF support...)
