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,
