It still isn't great on 68K.  I tried swapping out every piece of 
hardware I own for my Quadra with duplicates and other known working 
systems and boards.  I even re-downloaded everything in case the iso was 
bad.  NetBSD 1.5.2 refused to install properly on the Quadra, so I went 
back to Linux (Debian 2.2r3), which had been crashing randomly.  It's 
now stable after switching the kernel to the 2.2.20 version available on 
Source Forge.

The error for NetBSD was a reproduceable same-spot "can't find block in 
cylinder group"  in the installer... alloccgblk at inode 68 mostly...(no 
the "disks" weren't bad...)

Worked on it for 3 days before I went back to Linux.  Worked on Linux 
previously for about 5 days. (amidst crashes)
