Hi, Brad!
A little bit of clarification... Several months ago, a BSD for the
Macintosh, called MacBSD was released in essentially an alpha state.
We planned for an update soon after, but the domino effect kicked in
when the news hit the net, and we got too busy fixing things to get
a real decent release out the door.
Since that time, we've been mostly playing catch-up with NetBSD-current,
and we're now pretty much there. We hope to have a much improved
release out sometime in the next month or two--by the end of January,
probably. We hope to have support for the IIci and IIsi by then. No
promises, though ;-)
I just wanted to point this out lest someone spend too much time
downloading what's there now, installing it, getting comfortable
with it--only to find it superceded very soon after.
