So, to correct what you just said: - Jeff Hsu did some NetBSD/alpha work; the initial AXPpci support. - Wolfgang Solfrank is the author of NetBSD/powerpc. > I have an HP 300 (well, not strictly true; it's a 68040) that I bought > to hack on a port for the 680x0.

NetBSD/hp300 can disklabel SCSI disks. You do have other options for installing NetBSD on your hp300, like network booting. Jason R.
