Well the RS6000 that I have is an old model ( a C10, I think), it has
the awful AIX, nothing works and nobody cares about it, so i would
like to install NetBSD on it to give it a better use.
Thanx

Those machines still are older RS/6000's; I believe those are all
PreP-based systems, not CHRP-based. I did not mean MCA-based and/or POWER
architecture systems.
