   May I kindly recall that I replied to an unhappy soul who did not know how
   to bootstrap MacOS on a barebones Macintosh II?

that unhappy soul got more unhappy after figuring out that he has not a Mac II - as mentioned on the chassic - but a Mac IIfx. NetBSD doesn't support this machine ;-(
thanks, anyway for so many respones!!

linux supports the Mac IIfx. now will switch to the linux mailing list and continue to ask my annoying questions ;-)

bye,
 Stefan
