Does this offer also extend to getting BootX working on the Blue G3?  I 
thought I had read someplace that it was capable of booting NetBSD (and 
MkLinux) but couldn't find it after I got my Blue G3.  When I tried using 
BootX to attempt an installation of MkLinux on the system it got wedged 
pretty bad.  I really wanted to run NetBSD anyway so it wasn't that big a 
deal, especially after I discovered how to net boot NetBSD on the PPC 
system from a NetBSD/mac68k system.

But if you'd like to work together on getting BootX working for NetBSD on 
the Blue G3 (or even non-PCI systems), I have the systems, CW Pro 3 and 
some spare time.
