I understand. I prefer OpenBSD. I have tried running NetBSD recently  
and I have had a number of issues with stability. Those have not been  
the case with OpenBSD in my experience so I would prefer to stick  
with it. Note that this machine is not really a Color Classic anymore  
from the logic board point of view but actually an LC 575. I'm not  
sure what the bus error relates to exactly but I am going to try to  
figure it out.

I recognize it is not supported but I am running OpenBSD/mac68k 3.9  
on an SE/30 right now and it runs fine aside from the fact it is very  
slow because of the 16 MHz 68030. The shell is sluggish but isn't bad  
except for very slow initial login with ssh.
