Hmmm:
Looks like you may have hit it on the head there.  Now that I look back on
the Install Intructions I had printed, indeed it is from Open BSD.  Funny
thing, the instructions mention nothing about the "ect26.tar.gz" at all.
It actually tells you to install the three I'd mentioned "...and any other
packages you wish to install at this time..."  If it misses a really
important point there, because that file you mentioned does exist in the
folder of stuff that was handed to me.  Well hell.  Maybe I'll just go grab
the NetBSD instead.

I seem to have managed to get myself on the wrong mailing list...but maybe
it'll turn out to be the proper mailing list in that I've already gotten an
answer that seems to make sense.

Now, assuming I've folllowed you correctly here.  I should go ahead and
download the following:
                   NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k/binary/sets/base.tgz
	NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k/binary/sets/kern.tgz
	NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k/binary/sets/comp.tgz
                    NetBSD-1.4/mac68k/binary/sets/etc.tgz

I'm downloading these 4 now.
Is there a different version of the 68K Booter, Installer, and/or Mkfs that
you would reccomend I grab while I'm at it?  It's going on 4am here, so I
am about to crash for a bit...so I'll pick it up in the morning I guess.
