	I'm pretty sure there are - hopefully someone else on the list

	If straight 1.2 doesn't work you should try the latest snapshot
	(ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/snapshot/)

	If you have any problems you should try to note down the error
	messages (I believe the latest booter has an option to log
	the boot messages) and let the list know, together with the
	config of your mac.

	Not that I am aware of - the list on
http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/machine-status/machine-status.html
	is probably the closest I've seen. You'll need a PMMU (Memory
	management unit) and an FPU will help, but is not essential -
	the FAQ should cover that in more detail.
