Assuming you have a full 68040, the only other problem I cna see will be
your IDE drive.  I believe that the mac68k port of NetBSD does not support
the IDE drives, so you will have to put everything for NetBSD on your SCSI
drive.

Assuming you have the disk space, I see no reason why you shouldn't be
able to run X in black and white.  Color X on internal video is still at
the "coming soon" stage.  For your 630, you will need a "current" snapshot
and kernel.  You should be able to get them at:

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

Hope this helps,
