The Mac cannot read PC formatted floppy disks without first booting Mac OS
with the apropriate extensions.   Do you presently have anything on the har=
d
drive of your LC class machine?

You will need a system folder somewhere to boot your Macintosh with the
apropriate extensions for CD ROM access and/or PC Exchange.

I don't know anything about the NetBSD CD, because I don't own one.   Does
your LC computer boot at all from the hard drive?   Do you have a copy of
Mac OS System software?

You shouldn't have too much trouble if you can get a working copy of System
software to install on your LC.

When I installed NetBSD on my LCIII, I used an Appletalk volume and
installed over my local network.  It was easy as pie.
