Good question.  To just run, it shouldn't be _too_ bad, but to support
all of the nifty features, we'd have to have a lot of nifty drivers.
The main blocks in the path (that I know of) are SCSI (probably--I know
that the Q700, at least, has a new SCSI chip) and 68040.  The latter we
can try to implement, but the former will probably require a machine to
fix.  After the IIci is working...

Tar them on to the swap partition for now...  The A/UX ufs filesystem is
just different enough to be a bother.  Unfortunately, they both use the
same magic number.  Thanks, guys.

No.  If you, or someone else, wants to work on that, it would be *very*
nice to see.

No.  No software should still be alive.

Here's the list of mirrors from sun-lamp:/pub/NetBSD-current/doc/MIRRORS:

You mean, compile under MacMINT?  Probably one of the best contributions
you could make--if you know something about MacMINT--would be to work on
a development environment for MacOS.  It would be invaluable to those who
have machines that don't work, yet, and who don't have access to a running
MacBSD box.
