I crawled archive.org (for instance, 
https://web.archive.org/web/20050308055508/http://www.dridus.com/~nyef/macboot/) 
for earlier versions of this work and turned each tarball into a git 
commit. Here's the repo so far: 
https://github.com/schmonz/netbsd-mac68k-without-macos

I couldn't find macboot7.tgz or test_image.tgz, though, so the repo 
doesn't represent the most recent state of these efforts. I asked 
Alastair Bridgewater (aka "Nyef") by private mail and he doesn't have 
those files lying around anywhere he can find.

Does anyone on this list happen to have stashed away a copy of 
macboot7.tgz and/or test_image.tgz? I'd like to make sure this work is 
preserved and available for anyone who might want to pick it up and take 
it further.

Thanks,
