  Well, it more or less runs on my Performa 637, which is basicly the same
as your 631. It only runs off of SCSI disks (no support for IDE.)

  There are a few  problems:
        1.  Frequent segmentation faults. This is apparently due to a bug
in the floating point emulator.

        2. No support for dt or X-windows.

  Other then that it works fine. Be sure to try the netbsd.quadra kernal at
ftp.macbsd.com. -current kernals should work too, but I haven't tried them.

        Good luck
