yes. NTSC.

hm. I suggest, that you blindly:

ctrl-c
iteconfig -h 576 [returnkey]
exit [returnkey]

(I didn't try this; if this doesn't work as I expected, ask again)

Nothing. What makes you think so?

This has been integrated and in official releases for... err.. 3 years? 
*digging*

Ah, here:
NetBSD 1.1B (DRACO) #292: Wed May  8 10:54:59 MET DST 1996
    is%jocelyn.rhein.de@localhost:/usr/src/sys/arch/amiga/compile/DRACO

This was the copyright message of the first DRACO kernel that was compiled on
the machine itself (NetBSD-current as of back then, of course), so the first
official release with 060 and DraCo support must have been 1.2 in December
1996.
