Lots of thanks to all those who've helped me. I was finally able to
reinitialize and format the disk, thanks to apples own "Drive Setup" utilit=
y.

It was actually amazingly easy once I decided to try that little util. The
problem, one could argue, is that of all the sources I tried noone seems to
have known this could be the solution.

Apples own information lists it as being for PPC and for 68040's with IDE
systems, neither of which matches the setup in the 660av.

Oh, well, when the end is well all is well I suppose.

I'm now up and running with the system, having been able to install several
packages, working on a kernel compile, and I've even ordered the adapter for
the network card, which seems to be supported pretty much out of the box.

Thanks for the help everyone, I hope I'll be able to return the favor.
