There is clearly a lot more going on here than I'd realized. If you figure out that the machine boots, or at least tries to, you can bend a piece of paper clip to make the Mac think it has a monitor. Are you getting a chime when you power it on? Did you mention BlueSCSI? I might be able to make a disk image of a bootable Mac HFS partition along with Booter that launches automatically and boots a NetBSD kernel in to a clean NetBSD installation. Let me know if that'd help. John
