No, but MkLinux will (as of last Sunday night, midnight...).  For more
info on installing, check out the getting started section on
www.MkLinux.org, and follow the instructions there, only substiture the
latest PERFORMA mach kernel from ftp://ftp.mklinux.org/pub/kernels/wip
instead of the standard one.

The big hangup on that family of machines under NetBSD is that
NetBSD-macppc doesn't have a boot mechanism for them.  If someone were to
port BootX support into the NetBSD kernel, that would go a long way
towards making 6200 support possible.  (Strong hint to NetBSD kernel gurus
ot there... ;-)


Later,
David
