All of it should work perfectly fine except for two things:
1) Don't use the 1.2 distribution. NetBSD-current supports the SCSI chip
on that machine, the 1.2 distribution kernel does _not_ support it.
2) Depending on what kind of SuperMac video card you have, NetBSD may
barf on it. NetBSD often has difficulty with 24-bit cards, so you might
experience this problem as well.
I hope this helps.
Later.
