I'm of the distinct impression that the 2000 isn't an easy machine to get
NetBSD up and running on. I spent three long nights trying to get
everything set up so I could netboot NetBSD on mine, with no luck. Not
quite sure why I wasted so much time on this, since I want to run VMS. I
get the impression the easy way to do it would be to load the Hard Drive on
a full blown system, then put the HD in the 2000.
Admitadly I'm not sure if my problem was the machines I tried to used to
netboot off of, my Linux server, and a Pentium running OPENSTEP. Or if
there was something wrong with the 2000, or if it was something else.
Personally I got my 2000 to format disks for my larger systems anyway.
