Mac Pro working with NetBSD 4, but not current

[John Klos <john%ziaspace.com@localhost>]

Hi, all,

I just thought I'd mention, particularly since I don't find any mention of 
NetBSD installs on Mac Pros, that the NetBSD 4.0 CD boots and installs on 
an older Mac Pro, but that the -current CD from 8-May-2008 boots, but 
stops with a read only error when trying to do a newfs.

Also, I just thought I'd mention that top on an 8 processor system gets a 
bit silly:

All in all, though, very nice!
