I don't know if a second IDE hard disk is possible at all (besides the media bay). The PB1400 is quite easy to work with though. Just move the speaker "grill" (pull up the left end a little bit and then push it to the left; keyboard is loose now) and by removing a few screws you'll gain access to all of the interesting parts of the hardware... Well, there is another option: You may use a standard 2,5" to 3,5" IDE adapter and connect the PB1400 hard disk to a standard PC. Not as tricky as NFS from a simple floppy though :) > I don't see why nubus-pmac shouldn't be able to support an NFS root--- > the Ethernet device here is already supported, and that's the hardest > part.

I can build a proper kernel for you. However I haven't tried to create a miBoot floppy image yet.
