Hello,
I have managed to install NetBSD thanks to the following info
probided by Mike Bush.

>>To install off cd:
>>boot cd:,ofwboot.elf
Once the install is done I can boot the haddrive with this
>>I always leave the boot cd in the machine. When I reboot I enter OF and
>>type
>>this:
>>boot cd:,ofwboot.elf hd:0
During the install process I was forced to repartition my drive form the
NetBSD install program. Now I can no longer see the drive nor the
unused partitions in macOS. I was told and I also read on the list
archives that macOS and NetBSD can not live together on the same disk. I
just want to know if there has been any progres in making this possible?
Also I have X working but I can only get 8 bit color wich is not very
good.
Thank you for any info you can give me
Rene
