This deserves wider audience...

It's broken. I have the fixes (partly done by somebody else)- I just haven't
gotten around to this yet. I've had very very little time. I even bought a G4
to work on this!

I tell you what- if soembody could clone me a IDE drive with NetBSD already
installed on it for a G4 (I'll swap them another drive) I can get this fixed
up a helluva lot faster... (hint hint)
