BeBox 603e/66 hangs with floppy.



I've got an *old* (Well, I guess the all are) BeBox dual 603/66 machine
that seems to be in good working order.  

Curently it's running BeOS, though I'm not sure which version (Tracker:
PR2??).  I believe it's an older release though.  

I'd like to get something a bit more sophisticated on this machine, as the
current BeOS only supports two NIC's and little else.  NetBSD seems like a
good choice.  

I downloaded the floppy images from:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/bebox/snapshot/19981119/floppy/

I wrote 'inst_vga.fs' to a floppy (dd if=inst_vga.fs of=/dev/fd0).  Booting
from this floppy in the BeBox, however, seems to cause the machine to just
hang at the BeOS logo.  

Any thoughts?  Are *all* BeBoxes supported?  I realize this port is very
old, but I couldn't find anything newer.  Is there a way to get more info
out of the BeBox?

Thanks in advance.
