I just got a new G4 at work and I blew away all the standard cruft
the help desk preinstalled on it and partitioned it for a triple
boot. Darwin installation was a breeze, though it seems
documentation impaired. MacOS 9 had only the usual sorts of problems.
Now, how do I get NetBSD on this beast? Are we still stuck for
installation tools here?
Could I do it if I arrange a bootp/tftp setup on my Solaris box? I
want a native boot and don't want to do that to my Solaris box
permanently.
For that matter the last I noticed the uni-north support was still
having problems. Is it far enough along that my efforts would be
useful testing?
Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
