Cool.  Nice setup.

No special iBook HOWTO, since it is not significantly different to install
or run NetBSD.  The only caveats are to use 1.5.1 or a somewhat recent
-current kernel, as the built-in keyboard wasn't supported before.  If you
use a -current kernel, then there is Airport support, but it hasn't been
widely tested.  AFAIK, the internal modem isn't supported.  Don't press
the fn-PgUp key combo, it is the same keystroke as the 'eject PCMCIA'
button on the PowerBook 2400.  You might want to run XFree86 instead of
Xmacppc.

That's about it.

Have fun,
