:)My apologies if it sounds like I am casting aspersions.  This is not

Gotta love email -- I wasn't intending to sound upset, merely explanatory.
Unfortunately, every once in a while I get people who complain that the
docs are wrong, and I was just trying to make clear that I base the docs on
user feedback, since I only have two models of macppc at my disposal.

:)I have some notes about the docs where they look inconsistent, but I have
:)been hesitant to suggest changes because I could not be sure that I was
:)not simply being dense and doing something wrong.
:)
:)I will write up what I have and send it in.

Please do.

:)I am basing my comments on the most recent version of the 1.5.1 install
:)notes posted to this list 5/14/01.  Is there anything more recent?

Yes.  The officially released NetBSD 1.5.1 release notes in:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5.1/macppc/INSTALL.html

though, actually some of my last minute changes appear to have not made it
in.  Try the INSTALL notes from -current:
