Hi,

Unfortunately, certain of the installers were compiled with floating
point optimization by mistake.  Please use a newer installer, like
1.1d, available at:

<ftp://ftp.best.com/pub.s/sbrown/NetBSD/installer/Installer_1.1d.hqx>

The installer works best on gzipped tar files, so don't run the archives
through Stuffit Deluxe before attempting to install.

Steve Brown,

p.s.  This is assuming that the error message is accurate and that
	you don't have an FPU installed.  I don't have the stats
	for the Performa 630, so you'll have to let me know if 
	that is not the case.
