Hi,
Hope this will help you:
https://www.openbsd.org/macppc.html
search down to Boot device considerations (ultra0 for example boot
ultra0:,ofwboot /bsd)
Also perhaps this guide will help you in firmware
http://www.firmworks.com/QuickRef.html
(there is the devalias command in open firmware)
To enter the firmware press command-alt-o-f at power on, but you already
knew this right?
Good luck!

I’m trying to run OpenBSD and Tiger on one hard drive on a Mac G4 tower. I’ve
successfully installed 6.4 onto the drive and I can still boot from Tiger, so
that’s good. I then copied ofwboot to the Tiger partition (since it’s the first
HFS+ partition).
I have an Silicon Image 3112-based PCI SATA controller that’s recognized by OF.
Unfortunately, I can’t remember how to tell Open Firmware to boot from a SATA
drive attached to a PCI controller so I can specify the OpenBSD boot image!
Does anyone know how to find out the partition’s location in the device tree so
I can boot to BSD? I’m not good with Open Firmware, unfortunately. I’m more of
a Classic person, with my Mac usually in OS 9.
