 Interesting... yours is the first report of somebody trying to 
 install NetBSD/mac68k on such a drive. While there may be 
 incompatibilities on the SCSI level... how big is your root 
 partition? I dimly recall some of the old MacOS based tools having 
 issues with accessing partitions beyond 1 GB. That's why I usually 
 put the NetBSD partitions first.
