cute..

I successfully installed 5.0_STABLE on a PE2950 using an USB stick 
without any major issues. Just took a amd64 cd image and converted that 
to an USB stick according to these instructions

http://wiki.netbsd.se/How_to_install_NetBSD_from_an_USB_Memory_Stick

("Easy method" using the script)

I can send you a dmesg from this machine (although it runs a xen Dom0 
meanwhile) or any other information from this machine that might be helpful.

However, I had some fun booting these machines with g4u (based on 
-current), there I had to disable

#TH#options     PCIBIOS                 # PCI BIOS support

).

Good luck,

  Torsten
