All I know about is NetBSD/mac68k. I don't follow the other Unix
clones that work on Macs.
You can't do that with NetBSD/mac68k, mostly because the Mac needs to
boot into MacOS before NetBSD, so we don't have enough room on a
floppy to include NetBSD also. Once direct boot works (which may
never happen, nobody is working on it, and I don't see the effort as
worthwhile), and maybe some enhanced floppy support will be needed,
this may be possible with NetBSD.
