I always thought that the SE/30 would make an awfully cute workstation.

NetBSD 1.6 for Macs is now ELF; 1.5.x and older were a.out. The old booter
handles a.out, but not ELF. Get:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.6/mac68k/installation/misc/Booter2.0.0a7.sea.hqx

Use that, and all will be Ok.
