You've created msdos style partitions so we don't hit mac-parts hence
the \\:tbxi magic won't be used - you have a few options - boot off what
is there:

setenv boot-device hd:1,\ofboot.b

Or boot installer to rescue mode and create a blank mac partition table

parted /dev/hda mklabel mac

then reinstall.

You could also convert the partition table from msdos->mac - but the
other suggestions are probably easier.
