Of course.  Could you imagine how long it would take to boot System 7.6.1
on a IIsi?  Even with an accelerator on my IIci, it takes at least 5
minutes to boot 7.5.5.  Yuck!  If I'm going to be running NetBSD, I use
7.1.  It boots in 30 seconds to a minute, depending on whether or not I
last booted from the MacOS (rebooting or booting after running NetBSD
seems to mangle a few things just enough to noticeably slow the boot
process).

Later.
