Comm slot is supported, but my ethernet card doesn't work correctly.
Your mileage may vary. IDE works fine, but you must use the sysinstall
method to install, and the latest Booter from

  ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/installation/misc/

...not the one packaged with 1.6.1.

BTW, the snapshots in the arch/mac68k directory are really
out-of-date. Would anyone mind if I cleaned those out and pulled in
one of releng's recent autobuilt snapshots? Has anyone installed one
of those recently, to verify that it's a good one?
