In general, do folks tend to follow the INSTALL.* docs for port-mac68k
with reasonable success?

My impression is the biggest hurdle _may_ be disk partitioning and
basically having to interact w/MacOS a bit to get to NetBSD; I thought
I read that 2.0 sysinstall had taken some of the MacOS dependency out
of the picture, but I'm by no means a veteran with mac68k.

After I'm done resurrecting an Indy I have a Quadra630 that seems to
want to live again ;-) , and if the regular NetBSD INSTALL docs are
the best known starting place (as I've come to expect in other ports), 
I'm going to forge ahead.

Other pointers welcome, of course.

cheers,
sr.
