erf... I knew I was asking my question the wrong way ; sorry for looking ru=
de.

what I meant was "am I the first who reports those kind of problem ?".
I never really practiced /macppc before so I'm not sure of which netbsd
release is useable. For example, I know (for having tested it) that
before 3.x, /sparc64 was not pretty stable. I also know a bit about
/i386 hardware support (because I have used it for a long time). I
finally know about /landisk too because I own one. But that's my first
time on /macppc.

So if I try to put my initial question another way, I would say:
Should I keep netbsd-4 on my mini and reports more issues (I've been
asked to test PR 34165 on netbsd-4) or should I switched to 4.99.x
because this is a release that have many more fixes than netbsd-4.

Be sure that I'll be glad to wait for pull-up on netbsd-4, test them and
report success/failure.

Best regards,
	Jo
