1. I think that you have an EC030, that won't work.
2. You need NetBSD 1.2 for your 060
3. The cyberscsi modul is not supported at the moment so you need to use
   your IDE drive
4. I added support for the Piccolo SD64 3 month ago, so it will be also in 1.2
5. The Ariadne is supported since 1.1 but 1.2 has some bug fixes for it.

Yes, if you have the 060 or a MMU for your EC030

Yes.
