Parallels Desktop 4.0, and whatever recent 3.0 versions were available
for the year or so before the 4.0 release, are perfectly happy with
NetBSD-1.6.x and NetBSD-4.x at least, on a MacBook with Intel Core 2
Duo, that is. I haven't had any trouble booting anything I've tried,
though I think the only network access I've actually used for more than
a test ping would have been with a NetBSD Live CD.
