NetBSD/Mac does not know how to handle the internal video on this machine.
I suppose that there are additional quirks like this.

That's okay since booting NetBSD is kinda restart for the Mac. So MacOS
ejects all the disks.

Yupp, figure out where nternal video is mapped on this machine... But this
would mean to do some macsbug hacks and taking a ride with the kernel
sources...

same as above...

AFAIK it has to do with miniroots. A disk-image like structure that can be
used without a disk driver. But I never used this anyway.... (anyone ???)

You also may give the PB500 kernels on puma a shot...

Hope this helps.....
