On second thought, Basilisk might be a tough one...transferring the Mac ROM
might not be possible in your current situation. I could mail you a 'dd'
image of the Disk Tools floppy and you could reconstruct it under Linux
with a simple dd if=floppy.img of=/dev/rfd0a (or whatever it is under
Linux) to get you started. This would be a largish file to sit in your
mailbox, so let me know if that's what you want. I could also send you a
2nd floppy image with the sysinst stuff on it and you could pull the NetBSD
files off the Linux box through NFS or FTP. This all assumes your ethernet
card is supported. Let me know.
