	In the event that you do not already know, BootX is a MacOS based
extension/application program that lets you boot Linux (and BeOS uses a
similar app). Currently it can only boot Linux kernels. The author has
said he will gladly add NetBSD booting support if someone writes it. This
just hasn't been done yet. There were several lengthy
discussions/arguments in the mailing list archive from about 5 months ago
should you care to look them up.
