Good presentation by Kevin last night BTW.

Now for the question. I want to set up NetBSD on a Mac 8500 (PPC 603) with accelerator card. I have two, two gigabyte harddrives. Some large amount of RAM above what is required. I want to put NetBSD on the machine just to say I have done it and to have it act as a low volume server (mostly so I can experiment with the differences between BSD and Linux). The instructions I found on the NetBSD page explain how to make a dual boot system. I'm not interested in dual booting. I want this machine to boot only into NetBSD. Before the meeting last night we were discussing how to install NetBSD on this machine without the dual boot option. I thought it might be useful to ask how this can be done simply. If this works, I may be able to pass along this knowledge to three other people who are considering this for their older Macs.

Best start from step one. I haven't downloaded it yet.
