Hello,

I'm a newbie too, and after many tray I have chose others ways...
1/ opendarwin (nice but not enough port for what I'm looking for
2/ debian (really a very nice works... i know it's no BSD, but that  
can boot...)
3/ ubunt : my actual chose with a booting OS9 partition... (I't not  
really my chose, but i can't be able to boot on NetBSD ;-((()

but if some one have any idea, it's well come to really make a tray  
to NetBSD

Gerard
