Hi netters,

Reading a thread in de.comp.sys.apple, I had gotten the impression
that there existed a MacBSD (NetBSD port to 68k-Macs) that would
run on a Mac IIvx ON THE CONSOLE. I looked up the mirror sites 
and was unsure what to download. I could only find a source 
distribution for anything higher than 1.0, so I downloaded the
binaries of v1.0 first and installed them. No go.

Snooping around further didn't get me anything so I'm at a loss:
Is there a binary distribution of MacBSD that can run on a Mac II vx
and doesn't require logging in via one of the serial ports? If so,
where? 

Any hints appreciated... 
HSK
