Have you done the > full cycle of flushing the PRAMs? Yes. I found the problem, though. I was using the macppccd.iso from the releng server area, and those are not as fully-populated as the macppccd.iso in the release directory. I grabbed the 4.0.1 disc, and that works much better. "boot cd:,ofwboot.xcf netbsd.macppc" Now I need to get X working, etc... Thanks, -allen -- Allen Briggs | http://www.ninthwonder.com/~briggs/ | briggs%ninthwonder.com@localhost
