For macppc, references to PR 44896 and this mail from the archives:

http://mail-index.netbsd.org/port-macppc/2009/03/02/msg000617.html

would have been *extremely* helpful when I stumbled into this known-but-not-well-documented trap with auto-boot.

>How-To-Repeat:
Follow the regular INSTALL for NetBSD/macppc on a G4 Mini.

>Fix:
Steinlager is on sale at my local 7-11.
