I'm also using Bruce ONeel's distribution. It's basically a standard
NetBSD distribution except the userland is compiled as -msoft-float (to
bypass the FPU). No simulation needed.
I'm working off a stock Performa 475, and everything is working
swimmingly well. Obviously everything has to be re-built with
- -msoft-float, but I've set up pkgsrc... got apache, perl, postfix, and
other good things compiled and working. Nary a segmentation fault in
sight.
I love it.
