Issues installing on a PowerMac Quicksilver DP800



Hello, I'm trying to install NetBSD 4.0 on this machine and am having quiet a lot of problems. For a little background, this machine runs OSX just fine. It also booted another G4's NetBSD 3.1 install (single user). I get passed the OF quiet easily and boot on the install CD. Somewhere along the installation process, never later than ~50% of copying of the base set the machine hard-locks. It's pretty random, it locked in menus, during editing in disklabel, during newfs and copying. So far I've tried: 1) swapping the hard disk 2) swapping the ATA controller 3) removing all extra ram 4) swapping the remaining stick 5) swapping the video card. All to no avail, the behaviour is unchanged. I'm really running out of ideas :/
