'allo,

   I have just gotten a Quadra 650 and I have a PowerMac 7100/66
already.  I plan on using the Quadra 650 as a firewall Machine.  At
the moment I need to get a internal cdrom and a second network card.
What I would like to know is if I need to have a MacOS partition  on
any of my hardrives on the 650 and how much disk space will NetBSD
take up ?  Does NetBSD/mac-68k have support for virtual consoles ?  If
not I guess I can always use X11 though I would rather not have a X11
server running on my firewall machine.

  Does anyone know where I could the get the following items:

       internal cdrom (nothing fancy, a 2x will do fine for me)
       a 2Gb internal hard drive
       nubus ethernet card
       external casings for hard drives ( I have two 400Mb drives 
          and a 2Gb drive that I would like to use)

  I guess thats enough stuff for the time being.


thanks,

   mehul

p.s. my 7100/66 currently is a MkLinux box.

p.p.s I sit possible to install NetBSD over the Net ?  I have a cable
modem so it should nto be a problem)
