Just wondering if any of the following FAQ entries have to be amended with
an "This problem only exists in NetBSD versions prior to 1.5"

panic: startup: cannot allocate VM for buffers
	due to large quantities of RAM


USB keyboard problems
	There is a problem in some kernels that causes the first keypress
from a USB keyboard to be repeated over and over again


pciide0:0:0: lost interrupt
	if you use Open Firmware to load the bootloader (i.e. ofwboot.elf)
or the kernel from your hard drive, NetBSD cannot use that drive.


Also, I was wondering if anyone has had any success in booting NetBSD from
a third-party disk interface.  That is, an IDE or SCSI PCI card that
*didn't* ship from Apple -- I've been told the Adaptec cards in the B&WG3s
boot fine.


Can someone confirm that OF 2.4 (on Beige G3s) really can load ofwboot.xcf
from an HFS partition?

Can someone confirm or deny that OF 2.4 can load ofwboot.xcf from an ISO
volume?

Are people still having problems with the kernel not being able to find the
disk it was booted from?

Thanks,
