ok let's begin . I'm using the latest version 1.1
 I try to install it on a syquest ez 135 and it work  originaly it was at
1000 K I increase the memory to 10 meg ( I was sugest to do it earlier ) I
didn't try on my HD yet
the size of base is 7,517,845 bytes
the ftp site is netbsd.org\
I'm using system 7.5
I'm installing into a quadra 660 av with a quantum fireball hd with 1.2 GB
I have 24 meg of ram
virtual memory is always off
no ram doubler
my root partition is about 300 meg and so my user partition the swap
partion is on 48 meg
I'm going to try to install again with the swap partion in the first
location of the HD
then the root  and the user and at the end the apple partion as Bill Studenmund
  suggested
 I post another Email for the result
