A report about booting NetBSD-current (10 April 1997) on a PB 520.

The new (well new and new :-)) adb code removes the need for a serial
console to monitor the booting process. The internal video works,
but the keyboard is still not working. As this has been working
earlier (Hamadas kernels based on the now-integrated TESTADB code),
I'd expect this to be a minor problem.

Allen's kludge to read the Sonic ethernet's MAC address that MacOS
used seems to work -- it really finds the MAC address.

All in all: significant progress (even if I still have the 68LC040
sitting in there...)
