I've mounted the file and see that there is a ppc folder. Contained in the file is the bootloader and a text info file. I'm assuming the same can be done with Net/Open BSD using ofwboot.elf and ofwboot.xcf. The working system is linux: I've used dd to create the 800(819)k image and have tried formatting using hformat. Now, I have a laptop with FreeBSD x86 on it and I can reinstall FreeBSD-ppc on this- G4 Powermac- machine and create the boot volume here.
