That was one of the first things I had tried.  Some results either way.

AFAIK, yes.  I believe the ony "real" difference is in how they were
marketed/sold by apple.

The machine ID for a Q605 does happen to be 94.  Thanks for the booter
referece, I'll try that (I was using the one from main NetBSD site.) 
Hopefully it won't get too upset when it sees that my machine has an
FPU.  :-)

Thanks for the advice!  I'll let you know how it goes.
