Question macppc - Powerbook 12"

Hi,

I'm trying to set up an infrastructure where I can test my ports work on as many processor architectures as possible. To that end, I set up an i386 box (an old Thinkpad T21), a sparc64 box (my old SunBlade 100) and am now trying to recycle my old 12" Powerbook so I can do 32-bit PPC builds.

Unfortunately, I'm hitting a wall. I have done everything in my power to get this to boot after the install but I keep getting the "missing system folder" graphic and can't boot from OpenFirmware.

I dedicated the entire disk to OpenBSD and took the default disk layout (there is an "i" MSDOS partition of 1M at the front of the drive) but it still won't boot.

If anyone could please point out the n00b mistake I made, I will be more than happy to take my medicine. I've read the docs over and over, searched here to no avail and my general Google-fu failed me yet again.

Any help would be appreciated.
