I'm in Tucson, AZ. Anywhere near there?
My first question would be the "pain in the a**
factor" of this machine. I see it has a floppy
controller, but can it boot from the floppy? I also
see it can boot from tape or NFS, so maybe that's the
better option. (I've never made a bootable tape so
that would be a learning experience).
Also, will this thing be able to build itself once I
install some level of NetBSD? I don't mind waiting, I
just want to know if there is enough memory and other
resources available for it to finish...
Andy
