Okay, I did a re-install of NetBSD on my Q700 and everything now seems to be
in order.   I typed startx at the command prompt and X began to boot - more
than an hour ago - it's still booting.   So my question now, is, how long
does it take for a 25MHz Quadra 700 to boot into the X environment?

I'm currently looking at a grey screen with a black "X" on the screen.   Oh
wait, a little white window just appeared in the upper right hand corner.
I think I'm getting close!

Thanks,

William


PS.  I don't think I'll be using the X environment in NetBSD.   At least, I
won't be using it on my Quadra 700; boot time is ridiculous.
