  Ted,

I've got an old Toshiba TMS-330 that we've been using to load
Ultrix on the 5k/240's with (it also is liked by SGI's a lot) and a 500
meg
drive which does 512 byte blocks.

I plan to install NetBSD 1.3 with tarballs onto the 500 meg, move the
drive over to my mac's scsi chain, then use Adaptec's Toast CD authoring
software to build a disk image and then write it to a new CD.  I can also
do a SCSI to SCSI copy as mentioned before, but I'm not sure which method
will give me a better chance at building a "bootable" NetBSD 1.3 CD?

Any ideas/suggestions before I start making coasters?
