What I want is a 1.6-ish install that will dual-boot with MacOS X.2.

Problem 1:  the ofwboot on the iso doesn't work.  (Likewise the one 
in the NetBSD-1.6/macppc/installation directory on the ftp site.) 
Solved by using the one at 
ftp://releng.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-1-6/200212090000/macppc/installation/

Problem 2: the install kernel on the iso doesn't work.  It starts up, 
but it gives some kind of error mounting the memory file system and 
dies.  (If the exact error is important I can reproduce it.)  I see 
there's a full snapshot at that releng site.  Maybe that will solve 
this problem as well.

Problem 3: there have been several security advisories since 1.6 was 
released.  Are the fixes already applied in the source files in the 
NetBSD-release-1-6/tar-files/src directory.  I'm not adverse to 
rebuilding from source if I can get started.  I have to do that 
anyway if I apply the patches from the security advisories.

Possible problem 4:  I really, really, really want the patches to 
make NetBSD understand the NeXT version of ffs that MacOS X uses. 
Are those in 1.6, in 1.6 branch on CVS (equivalent to 
NetBSD-release-1-6/tar-files/src?), or do I need to go to -current? 
I'm willing to go to -current if I need to, but I'd rather get a 
working snapshot if I do that.  I don't see one.
