And every SMC Ethernet card owner who has a card set at 0x300 will

I think it is. If you need network access to install, NetBSD has
not been installable on a machine with an SMC Ethernet card at
0x300 for a couple of years now, and it looks as if this release
will not be installable on those machines either. I'm not sure if
this is due to the Mitsumi or wt, but I'd sure like to see it fixed.
