Nope, I didn't even know there was one; I'm brand new to this whole 
netbsd/mac68k thing.

I have the latest booter from the netbsd.org site, do I need a different 
sooper sekrit booter instead?

That's excellent! This is just a hobby for me anyway, I need to use 
FreeBSD and NetBSD to round out my free Unix experience, so building the 
system myself is a reasonable thing to do.

Where do I get an ELF snapshot, in case I blow up my netbsd box trying 
to do it myself? :)
