NetBSD currently doesn't boot on the 4000SC.  You have the same machine as I.
I'm currently working with someone to get the kernel booting, we've been
unsuccessful so far, but we're working on it.  Please be patient.  I'm as
eager as you are to get NetBSD installed on this hardware.

BTW, I could really use your firmware floppy.  Could you send me an image?
The floppy for the 4000PC doesn't work on my 4000SC.  I'd just like to have it
on hand.

Thanks!
