I just finished setting up a bernoulli drive for NetBSD.. I haven't gotten it
working quite properly yet though... X doesn't seem to want to work (that
might not be at all related to the Bernoulli) and I get errors about bad
request on sd1 or some such when I boot... But it should be fine for holding
things like the X sources etc. Main problem I had was formatting it for
NetBSD... Had to get it so it was inserted but not mounted (eventually got it
to work by booting with the drive off, then turning it on and inserting the
cartridge. The Mac wasn't expecting it, so it didn't try to mount it and I was
able to format it)
