Seriously? Bootable? mac68k? System 7 and all? How did you do that? And
what does Apple say?

Depends on definition of the word "bootable."

I'm not a Macintosh user, but I thought it was common knowledge
that using Booter utility was the only way to boot NetBSD/mac68k.
In that scope, "bootable ISO" means a CD image which has a hyblid
ISO9660/HFS file system with all necessary executable MacOS binaries.

If you don't think it is so common, you can add a FAQ entry
that mentions "you need MacOS to boot NetBSD/mac68k"
before answering "what to do" to boot.

Anyway, your message has discourage my motivation enough.  Thanks,

I have a Mac SE/30 that I want to try but I have to find a CD ROM drive.
Maybe I should try ebay. :)
