The 7500 I'm running NetBSD on has a G3 card in it, but I still have the
original 601 card it shipped with.  Purely for entertainment, I just tried
putting the 601 card back in and booting the 20000205-current snapshot
I have installed.  Not surprisingly, it cratered.  Default catch at
FFF00300 before any sort of "loading" display.  I _was_ able to netboot
ofwboot.xcf from another machine and get it to ask me for a kernel name,
but got the same result as above when I gave it one.

I'm actually more interested in getting NetBSD running on my 5300 powerbook.
It's a Nubus-based machine with a 603 processor.  I've installed MKLinux
on it in the past, but since it supported neither SCSI nor ethernet (PCMCIA
or otherwise) at the time, it wasn't very exciting.
