Well, the vibe I've gotten from everyone on the list is that energy should
be concentrated on moving to sysinst instead of working on a new installer.

But still I can't get netbsd on my G3 and no one offers any help beyond what
is written in the faq's and other docs.  I've read everything extensively
and I have to say that there are conflicting methods of installation
throughout that manual.  We need to get it all laid down about how to set up
OF correctly and start the installer.

Perhaps a tool for setting up OF from macos beyond what system disk does
would be of use.

Does this sound like something that would still fit in with the sysinst
layout?

Let me know,

Dave Rogers
