		miscellaneous i386 installation utilities like

For the imac systems, no floppy image is available, for now it
is necessary to bootstrap the system from an existing BSD or unix system.

At this time the bootloader and kernel must initally be loaded from the
network. A method to boot from cd is not yet available.

To load the network bootloader and install kernel from the openfirmware
prompt type "boot enet:,ofwboot /bsd.rd"

This assumes that that a machine is configured with bootp/tftp/nfs to
make the kernel and bootloader available.

NOTE:
The powerpc port does not currently support sharing the disk with MacOS
This is an important fact on the imac which does not support more than
one disk.
