Todd,
Thanks for the advice. I burned the CD and it worked as you said. I
installed NetBSD on the iMac, but now I don't know how to boot it. I went to
the macppc FAQ again and it says to use something like:
boot hd:netbsd
Which makes sense, but somehow it won't boot. The FAQ said to set some
variables in OF, like load-base etc, but those are for 2.4 and below, and I
have 3. Is there anything I need to specify before I try to boot from 'hd'?
Or am I using the wrong command all together.
Thanks for the help so far, I really appreciate it.
(PS it complains about not being able to find some partition or something...)
