Do you have FPU on your blizzard? I have 1230 MkIV too, and I was unable
to install NetBSD on Amiga without FPU since 1.6. Maybe this problem is
fixed now, but I don't know.

I know one company from Poland that sells internal A1200 scandoublers for
50 euros (refurbished), however they're out of stock actually. You might
want to write them: info ( at ) efunzine.com.

I own 3c589d and it does not work on NetBSD/amiga (2.0), I think there's a
problem in pcmcia driver or ep driver. Many NE2000-compatible cards
works (check ne driver), but some of them suffer from infamous A1200
PCMCIA hardware bug.

I suggest sticking with 1.6.2 unless you have very good reason to install
2.0... NetBSD 2 have ugly kernel leak on m68k, so your machine will crash
in few days (btw. maybe someone knows... is it fixed in -current?).
