You could also attach a terminal to one of the serial ports. I have never done this, but as I understand it, it is the only way to set up NetBSD on the ANS.
Yes - under Yellow Dog Linux (at least) there is an LCDproc (? from memory) which is a simple RPM install. I just checked my archives, and I don't have it readily available. The source is from shiner.info and once it's back on line you can grab it.
