I've installed NetBSD 1.4 on two IPX's and a half dozen 5's and had no problems at all. It never occurred to me to attempt to boot from a CD-ROM or a floppy; I just use the miniroot install the way God@sun.com intended. ;^) Now NetBSD 1.4.1 on a Mac G3? That's a different #(%$U*!#ing struggle. -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?"
