Yeah.  It installs without any problems (it's a text based installer), but
when you first boot NeXTSTEP, it's unable to find P9100 video drivers and
crashes.  I suspect if you convinced NeXTSTEP to run "headless" it'd work
without any problems.

Ah well.  At least it runs great on my HP 9000/735 and SPARCstation 20.

Have fun,
