Will do...
The iBook is 512kB cache (nominal cpu speed 1.2 GHz, but netbsd runs
in at 600MHz in "economy" mode :-)...

by the way - am i building this stuff the right way - as after running
"build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC" i just copy the netbsd kernel from
.... sys/arch/macppc/compile/obj/GENERIC ... Is there anything, in
addition to copying netbsd file to hfs partition, one needs to do
after running "build.sh tools kernel=GENERIC" ?
