Hello,

Taking the minimal System 7.5 System from Apple's Network Access Disk, I
have made two disk images for NetBSD people to use to do installs.

Both assume that you have an AppleTalk volume that you can mount, and that
you have Disk Copy from Apple.

With the Network Access Disk, you can boot all m68k machines off of
floppy, mount an AppleTalk volume, and run Apple HD SC (modified); then,
create a 4 meg (4096k) MacOS partition, use Disk Copy to mount one of
these images, and copy everything to that 4 meg partition.

Then boot off of that partition, use the Memory Control Panel to turn on
32 bit memory, and you have a working MacOS that can mount AppleTalk
volumes, run Mkfs, run NetBSD/Mac68k Installer, and run BSD/Mac68k Booter.

The disk images also come with the Date & Time Control Panel (so you can
at least set the year so that ntpdate will work under NetBSD; it doesn't
when it thinks the year is 1904), Apple HD SC (the modified one), and
Clockometer.

The difference between the two is that MacOS_for_NetBSD.img.bin is just
the System and the utilities mentioned above; NetBSD_install_disk.img.bin
comes with netbsd-INSTALL.gz and all of the above.

And Apple's Network Access Disk is at:

Enjoy!
