I am considering installing NetBSD on my Mac SE/30, and have consulted
the supported hardware section of the installation instructions on the
NetBSD web site. From what I read there, I am unclear about whether my
Ethernet card is supported.
The card is an internal Ascante MacCon 30si, Revision Alpha-1.1.

I would also appreciate your commenting on what I have in mind for my
partitions. The system will be installed on a 500 MB internal drive
devoted entirely to NetBSD (I can boot from a floppy). The main uses of
the system will be: 1) to run a medium-volume mail server with Postfix,
2) to run a mail client to read mail, to run a Usenet news client to
read news, 3) perhaps an ftp server, and 4) to learn NetBSD (I have some
experience with FreeBSD on i386 and with Linux):

Thanks,
