Here's the quandry: how do I get the new ofwboot.xcf and netbsd kernel
to the old HFS partition?  I've tried boot the 4.0 kernel from CD,
which works for booting the kernel, but won't continue on to loading
things from wd0.  Apparently there isn't enough information there to
tell it to 'move on' to wd0.


You don't need the kernel on the
 HFS partition. If it's old HFS you  can use hfstools from pkgsrc - ofwboot.xcf from 4.0 can load 3.0  kernels. And finally - you can always build a kernel with hardwired  root filesystem.

have fun
Michael
