NetBSD 9.3 macppc (verified the name of the ISO I burned).

Does the installer look for the fstab inside the created wd0a partition? 
or does it look for a specific parition, e.g. wd0b?

Not related with this issue, but to the bootloader in general: do I need 
to have a small HFS or FAT partition to hold ofwboot.xcf in the final 
setup? Rethinking, I probably do. It is not that well explained in the 
documentation, but can be inferred.

I have currently wd0a root and wd0b swap - nothing else. Apple partition 
map left intact using pdisk.
