 Hello,
 
 On powermac G3 blue and white, there are two type of ide controler, the 
 first is an ultra-dma 16 used for the cdrom and zip drive. The second 
 controler is an ultra-dma 33 used for internal hard drive.
 
 I will plug the hard drive on the ide controler with the cdrom and 
 install NetBSD 6.1RC4.
 
 it will be easier for you to debug the IDE controller ultra dma 33
 
 best regards,
 Sadirux
