The NetBSD/mac68k 1.5 release kernel has a bug where Quadra 700 internal
video is not detected correctly. Basically, the SCSI driver and the video
driver are stepping on each other's feet.

For details see pr#11000; Scott Reynolds has fixed the problem and the fix
was pulled up to the 1.5 branch.

You can either

o  run the Q700 on serial console, and build a kernel from 1.5.1 sources
(available via sup or anoncvs), or

o  get the 1.5.1 ALPHA GENERIC kernel that I am going to build and set up
for download since you will not be the last to run into this bug until
1.5.1 is shipped.  ;)

Stay tuned,
