Hello Symka,
No, the next68k iso on the NetBSD FTP site is not bootable. The
next68k port is still an `experimental' port and the released code
does not support scsi devices such as hard disk drives and CD drives.
It is provided as a convenience to developers working on the port.
In order to boot the NetBSD 1.5 release on the NeXT, it needs to have
its files installed on a file server which it can access over the network.
Booting scsi devices may be supported in a future release, but I
cannot say when. I would be glad to help software developers
interested in working on making the .iso or a floppy bootable. I
believe enough information is known about the NeXT to make this possible.
Thank you for your interest,
Darrin Jewell <dbj@netbsd.org>
