As an alternative, you can try a net install from a Linux or other
Unix-like system. It's not completely trivial to set up
dhcpd/bootparamd/tftpd/nfs for it,but it is doable with no major headache
and doesn't require extra hardware.

Do you plan to be 'full vintage' with an internal SCSI hard drive (whose
reliability will be questionable), or to go with a
SCSI2SD/RaSCSI/BlueSCSI/... ?
I have an IPX with a SCSI2SD V5 which works just fine for me, if you're
looking for references (makes me think I really should get another micro-sd
with NetBSD on that, and check if SBusFPGA will work in it as I've only
tested in the 20 so far).

Cordially,
