Hi,

The standard distribution 1.2.1 does not support the Quadra/Centris series
Macintoshes.  You need to use the "-current" files.  You will need to
download the files from:

   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/latest/snapshot

and a kernel from:

   ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/latest/kernels

Then, you should be able to use your Quadra 660AV. (I think this should be
in the FAQ.) I have a 650 and NetBSD runs very well including X and
internal ethernet. I know we have others using Q840AV and Q660AV machines.

If you have not already read the FAQ, you should read it at:

   http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/

It has a great amount of information.
