Apart from the problem of not getting the login prompt, until I have added
ttyZ0 to /etc/ttys, there were no other problems.

I think of making the Quadra a DNS/MX/WEB/Printer server.
I have an Apple Laser printer which I'd like to use from the other
computers also. So I imagine NetBSD + netatalk will be a good choice.
It would be nice to have also ADB support but ... that's not here yet.
I recall form other postings that somebody is working on this.

Not to forget, if you activate sshd during the installation one has to
wait arround 15-30 minutes at the first boot while generating all the
host keys. The machine seems to be frozen but is not :).
