Hi,

I need a little help. My wife brought home a Power Macintosh (Beige)
G3 Desktop 233 Mhz. I appears to be an early version. It has
openfirmware verson 2.0f1. Yes, I got into the openfirware prompt
without any problems. I have no operating system or OS CD, and the
harddisk did not contain a functional OS. I can't boot NetBSD. I have
been reading the netbsd installation instructions, and found that I
must install nvram patches without Mac OS to get this system to boot,
using nvedit.

I don't have access to any Mac bootable install CD's. However
I was reading a section in the faq for macppc that said the 
following:

**** Start ****

Once you've got the 0 > Open Firmware prompt on your screen or
serial console, you can try installing NetBSD starting at the
"Getting to the Open Firmware Prompt (Without using Mac OS)"
section in the INSTALL notes. If your system can't boot NetBSD,
then post to port-macppc@NetBSD.org asking someone to mail you
the nvram patches for your model. You can use your serial
console to paste the nvram patches into Open Firmware. See the
NetBSD/macppc nvedit HOW-TO for help with this step. Once you do
this, you should be golden.

**** End ****

So can someone please mail me the nvram patches for a 
Apple PowerMacintosh G3 (Beige G3, Revision 1, Open Firmware
2.0f1) please?

Trying to be golden. 

Thanks, 

Alan
