You can use the 1542C for the installation of NetBSD-0.8, you
can not use it for the installation of 386bsd-0.1, but you can
later run 386bsd-0.1 with a 1542C, the original boot-code from
the "normal" 386bsd-0.1 boot floppy, don't boot from the 1542C,
if you can manage to get new-boot blocks installed, it does
function.
