                      9: NetBSD/mac68k is the port of NetBSD to Apple Macintosh computers that
                     10: utilize the Motorola 68k-series processor. It should run on most
                     11: Macintoshes with a 68040 or 68030 processor, and on Macs with a 68020
                     12: processor (provided that they also have a 68851 PMMU). For Macs using
                     13: the PowerPC processor, please take a look at

1.1       mspo       15: 
                     16: The mac68k port was originally known as MacBSD. It began as a port of
                     17: the Berkeley Networking Release 2 (more commonly known as Net/2) with
                     18: 386BSD-0.1 filling in the cracks. This was running in a basic form in
                     19: the late spring of 1992. About that time, it became obvious that 386BSD
                     20: was a dead end, and NetBSD looked like the way to go. The initial NetBSD
                     21: merge was into the 0.8 released sources. The first formal release of
                     22: NetBSD/mac68k was as a part of NetBSD 1.0. NetBSD/mac68k was the first
                     23: free OS to run on a 680x0-based Macintosh, and currently supports more
                     24: of these systems than any free OS.
                     25: 
                     26: Development activity on NetBSD/mac68k continues at its usual pace (in
                     27: other words, when the volunteers find time). Much progress has been
                     28: made, however, and most desktop systems can boot to a usable state.
