Chris,

I don't have anything against cd burning, in fact I have netbsd on cd 
but I couldn't get it to boot from cd.  The external scsi hdd is my 
friends.  I'm not sure what the partition type is on it.

As for the nvram patches, how do I load them and can you possibly send 
me the correct ones for the Beige G3/333 machine?
