speaking of which, does the ISO on the netbsd.org site boot with the C press
thing?  i'm not a mac-head, and my 8600 refuses to boot from the cd-rom if i
press and hold C.  i'm just waiting for my serial cable to show up, since i
can't seem to get the things to go to OF on the gfx head either.  (not a huge
deal since this thing is going to run headless)

thanks!
