I can type "boot", so the keyboard works.

Hey, I am really disappointed here! NetBSD puts this hardware on their
"Supported System Models" list, and it does permanent damage to the PROM?
Somehow, I feel ripped off.

Is this PROM damage really an issue? When I type "boot" NetBSD seems to work
OK.

Thanx,
