Here I was, thinking I had 8MB in my Mac II, trying out the new booters.
Well, was I ever wrong. Turns out I have only 5MB. So, I went back and
tried them again. This time they all worked with GENERIC.48 -- the
original, the 'mikehacked32bit' and the 'hacked32bit-nofpu'. So, that
makes me happy (and others, as well, I'm sure).
So, I thought I'd try the netbsd-nofpu kernel out on the II. With the
original booter, I got *zero* gray bars; with the nofpu booter, I got
*eight* gray bars. This kernel apparently doesn't like my machine.
Having looked at doing the same thing, I wonder: was it only compiled
without the FPU Define, or were there other changes? If the former,
it bodes ill for my effort.
More later...
