I haven't had time to work much with NetBSD lately (no X yet) but I think
that every piece of info could be of great value. Could we just start with
something simple like "This worked for me":

My machine:  Mac IIsi
             Nubus/FPU
             Internal video, 13" Apple Standard RGB Screen
             9 MB RAM
             Virtual Memory: OFF (No Ram Doubler etc.)
             Disks:   SCSI#0, Internal Quantum Lightning 730S
                      SCSI#6, External Fujitsu M2614S
             System 7.1

NetBSD:      mac68k 1.1 distribution kernel on external disk
             booter 1.9 "under the apple"

Booting
preferences: X Single User
             X Extra debugging info
             X Auto-size RAM
             X No env dumps
             Kernel Location: NetBSD/mac
             Kernel Name: netbsd
             Partition Name: BSD Root
             Root SCSI ID: 6

Problems:    None

Installed software other than delivered with distribution: None

Installation procedures on "extra" software": N/A

----

.. something like that. Of course, it would be nice if we could collect all
such information into a info-sheet for each machine type.
