hi sean, i just installed on my g3 desktop.
here are a few tips from what i encountered.

boot ide/disk@0:0,netbsd
or set it up with setenv's
you may only need ide/disk:0 i cant remember
also, i found the 1.5_A kernel stopped before it booted. 1.4.2 worked
fine. though the 1.4.2 kernel panics when it encounters the iomega
internal zip disk. thats why i originnal tried 1.5_A (which does not
panic from the ramdisk but the netbsd kernel wont boot)
just unplug your zip drive, and 1.4.2 rules on a g3 266!
(btw - overclock that thing to at least 315 MHz =)
