5.0_RC2
>Description:
The iso images available for macppc (5.0) are missing the files ofwboot.xcf and ofwboot in the root directory, which makes booting from open firmware impossible.
The only existing directory on the image is MACPPC in capital letters.
This seems to be a build problem.
The images for 4.0 are ok.

>How-To-Repeat:
try to boot from macppc cd using open firmware 3

boot cd:,\ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc

>Fix:
yes, please.

State-Changed-Why:
Fixed.  The general problem (that makefs cannot generate a bootable
image) still remains, but there's a PR for that.
