I have one of these machines, that has been running
NetBSD-macppc/current for quite a while.

Right now I'm not sure whether it has finally died, but after a recent
powerfailure I does not generate any screen signal.

Anyway to get It to run NetBSD i was never able to get it to boot from
a NetBSD CD. Although it was a bit flakey and typically required a few
attempts, I did a clean install (without using MacOS X) by booting
from the the two-disk floppy disk set that is part of the NetBSD
release for macppc.
