However, I seem to be the first to make a web page about it having done it, correct me if I'm wrong. This page is just a small tuturial I came up with to describe how I *finally* got things working. No netboot, no ofwboot.xcf on CD, etc. Yeah, I should probably include yaboot to make it complete..."

    What's the point in dual booting NetBSD and MacOS on an iMac? Get MacOSX which has MacOS Classic, all that bsd stuff, x windows if you download it and a whole bunch of other stuff that isn't in the NetBSD+MacOS combo. Now, if it was a machine that didn't support MacOSX I'd understand.

    It IS cool that it's possible though.

      My iMac only has 96M RAM, which kind of rules out Mac OS X. I had Darwin on it for a while, but I still prefer NetBSD.
