Hi Tom,

That is great. See my comments etc below;

At this stage, floppies are not supported in NetBSD/macppc, except for booting.

I presume you are asking how to use serial terminal?
I use the following settings for serial terminal from OF

setenv output-device ttya
setenv input-device ttya 

Where ttya is the "modem" port. See the FAQ for detials.

Depending on the console you are using, if you want to allow root logins and prevent the follwoing message, set teh follwoing entries in your /etc/ttys as follows;

#
#       from: @(#)ttys  5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89
#       $NetBSD: ttys,v 1.6 2003/10/04 07:41:12 dsl Exp $
#
# name  getty                           type    status          comments
#
console "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   on secure
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   off secure
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  vt100   off secure
tty01   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
...

I am only shown the first few lines you need to change. Notice the console line is now enabled, "on", and the tty00 line is now "off".
This is how I have set it on mine. I am using serial console BTW.

Well, you can enable teh AWACS drive in the kernel, (see FAQ), however, it can cause system instability....

Nope. Unless you have a gateway machine between the ethernet network and Token ring.

Hope I have helped with some of your answers. Some of the stuff is in the FAQ's and online documentation on the NetBSD site.
