the booting back into MacOS issue! It worked like a dream! Muchos gracias,

Where should I look for docs on my garbled X window problem? The INSTALL
docs ARE indeed solid! I got 1.5.2 up and running relatively quick but I
still have the X window problem. I just can't seem to find many
troubleshooting docs with regard to a garbled X window, video card settings
and how they may cause/relate to my issue. But given the immense size of
documentation and user responses on NetBSD.org I'm sure it's just that I
haven't found them yet. Please don't take offense. You've done a fantastic
job putting all of this together!!! Just my frustration talking! :) I've
been trying to solve this issue for a week now and need help.

tia,
