Yup - I can probably download & burn an iso to try out if you like.  I
haven't had a lot of experience with NetBSD - only tried it once or twice
on IBM PowerPC machines, and couldn't get it to boot.  But those are
oddball machines that take a lot of tweaking to run anything but NT 4 or
AIX.  Since Macs are much more common, the NetBSD install process for your
machine should be better developed, although it looks like we might need
to manually configure the open firmware on your model.

It looks like the Motorola Starmax 3000 that Toby had kicking around is in
the same boat.  So perhaps we can put NetBSD on both boxes.

(Toby, if we get NetBSD up and running, do you want the Motorola back
again?)

Cheers,

James
