The netbsd.INSTALL.gz kernel does not support any Open Firmware 3 systems.
It's a poor choice of names.  Perhaps we should relabel netbsd.INSTALL to
netbsd.FLOPPY and netbsd.GENERIC_MD to netbsd.INSTALL?

In any case, the 1.5.2 INSTALL notes (which you must be using since you
said you tried ISOs) do not mention your model as working -- you should
have posted to this list sooner instead of fighting it.

:)Nothing

Did you try any version of NetBSD newer than 1.5.2?
