I've had to deal with the same issue, the annoying kids of the emacs 
previous owner felt the need to try and shove 2 CD's into the slot 
loading tray.

If you are able to boot into MacOS, just download a bsd.rd and put it in 
the root partition of the mac filesystem. OpenFirmware will then be able 
to boot it with "boot hd:,ofwboot bsd.rd"

I have more than a dozen PowerPC devices, and this is how I have loaded 
OpenBSD on most of them.
