Oops, I have Sun on the brain...I have an AlphaStation 200. I dunno why I
said SparcStation, other than I'm a lot more familiar with them from
college than the DECs. Please do global search/replace & switch any
SparcStations into AlphaStations ;-).

As for running 68k code, I wasn't trying to use 68k code. I downloaded the
NetBSD/Alpha binary set USING my Mac68k machine (in MacOS), and used SoftPC
to create the boot floppy that I tried, and used the Mac68k installer to
try to install the Alpha binary snapshot onto the Hard Drive that I
attached to the AlphaStation.

Sorry for the confusion,
Mike
