Basically, what this means is that I know that it doesn't require a 
serial console, but no one has told me for sure whether internal or nubus 
video is the one that is working (or both).  However, I have a feeling 
that an LCII doesn't really have an option for any non-internal video 
(does anyone know if there is such a thing as a PDS video card???), so 
this column should probably have an O in it.

In a reply to a recent message about booting on a Q650, I posted 
instructions on testing a netbsd kernel on your machine (these 
instructions are also in the FAQ, I believe).  I'd recommend that you 
find a 1.2-current kernel, though, since the 1.2 release kernel does not 
include ADB support for your machine (or at least I don't think that it 
does).  So, please test a kernel and let us know the results.

Later.
