NetBSD is cool but it lacks some of the features vs linux or say FreeBSD
or OpenBSD.

The fun part about it though is the family relationship.  If I recal
correctly NetBSD and OpenBSD (and perhaps freeBSD for that matter) share
boot code (probally changed a bit).  Ergo, you could use the NetBSD
boot instructions to get OpenBSD 3.2 up and running.

I donwnloaded the OpenBSD 3.2 directory for macPowerPc last night and I
expect I will have a Cd burned today.  I'm toying with the idea of doing a
backup of this machine and having a dual boot of OpenBSD/OS-X.  It would
be nice to have OpenBSD up and running as OS-X dosen't support things like
changing your MAC address.
