That would be very nice of you.

How should i create the dmesg? boot up the
install kernel and load the shell and type dmesg from there?

How come it is distributed with a kernel that doesn't work for all
hardware? Isn't that a bit reckless?

I only have one other mac and it's a performa6200 (which wont run linux or
netbsd) so i don't have another box i could compile on, but maybe i could
crosscompile this myself? Maybe not this time, but it would be good to
know for future events.

I want to repeat, isn't it a bit reckless distributing NetBSD with a
kernel that wont boot?

Ah well, I'm just glad someone answered. :)
