Ok, I'll try it right now :)
Stupid question:
I have an UFS partition on the internal drive - would NetBSD be willing to live there? Updating the kernel would still be a pain but not having to mount / via NFS would certainly improve things. Or is there a ofwboot.xcf that understands Apple UFS?

have fun
