Ewwww. You're aware of just how many floppies that's going to be,
right?

If you can get the install media files onto the Mac OS partition
(modem?), you can install from there. Probably less painful.

Fair enough. Remember that, as opposed to the second power mac
generation (the x500s and kin), that machine has only one SCSI bus,
so make sure you set the external to be something that's not 0.

NetBSD will see any and only hardware that Mac OS initializes. So,
if the RAM shows up under 7.5.5, it'll be there under NetBSD.

Do you have a pointer to those expanded LC III directions? Does it
just involve cramming in large SIMMs, or is there soldering/jumpering=20
involved?

Can't help much on the UK sources part...
