NetBSD/mac68k

I installed NetBSD 1.6 on my SE/30 not long ago.  It wasn't too bad, as long as you read the directions thoroughly, more than once, ahead of time.  The biggest problem I had was that it didn't seem to like my partitioning strategy.  I know that the mac68k port had some issues with "large" HDs, which may have been what I ran into.  (I have a 1.2 GB drive.)  I ended up just combining my /tmp and /var into the root partition, then it was fine.

To get back on topic, I recently upgraded my YDL 2.1 box to 2.3.  Haven't had time to really do anything yet though.  It did not go very smoothly - lots of package conflicts, and it would uninstall most of what it said it had installed.  I guess I'll be doing some of that manually.  The DHCP seems to still be uncooperative, and that was the main reason for the upgrade.
