I just finished installing mine a few hours ago.  It picks up the floppy as a
normal scsi disk target.. I was able to access it in netbsd as "sd1c".

I just printed out the hardware docs for the notebook, and they seem pretty
complete.. perhaps some drivers will start showing up.

The machine runs pretty quick, and the scrolling isn't bad..  I like this
machine.. having X on it would be killer.
