All,

I've just installed NetBSD on my Mac SE/30.  So far, so good.  However two
questions linger:

1) Why is disk I/O so dog slow?  Iozone shows that the best my Seagate
ST1401N can do is ~350 bytes/sec RW!  This drive can do 1200 bytes/sec. on
X86 linux, and that is on a 386/40 with a slow controller.

2) I'm able to mount exported NFS directories from a Linux box by hand,
but amd fails with a bitter complaint from the server about "..insecure
port 1037 - seek mental counseling.."  (I'm serious).  Any insights?
