John Wittkoski's ADB kernel gave a Centris 650 a working keyboard.  I have
booted using a miniroot (ram disk) which contains the minimal software.
Since there is no scsi or ethernet, you can't do much with it.  Of course,
you can work on the scsi and ethernet.

If you can get the nubus interrupts flowing an Asante ethernet card will
work.  Currently packets flow only because of a driver timeout.

I ain't bright enough to get this stuff to work myself, but my C650 has a
240MB disk partitioned exclusively for NetBSD and is waiting for a scsi
driver.  It is also connected to an ethernet segment using the in built
ethernet and an Asante card hoping to nfs  everything from my SE30.  I am
willing to help anyone else debug the scsi and ethernet!
