	I have a LC, upgraded to have a 030, MMU, and FPU.  I have tried 
4 different kernels, one of them had 13 bars, one had 1 bar, and two 
didnt even get that far.  The ones with bars had some problem with video, 
so I tried to boot with a serial console, following the IIsi 
instructions.  The ones that don't have bars are the newer ones, that are 
supposed to work on the IIsi.  If I hvae serial off, the only message 
that comes up is "ser console 0" and if serial is on, it says "ser 
console 1".  That is displayed in booter's window, before macbsd takes 
over the screen and makes it go white.  This is all from memory, so if it 
isn't detailed enough, email me and I'll try them all again when I'm at home.

BTW: I have 10Mb of RAM, and I am trying to boot from a 4Mb Syquest 
cart... I know, even if I get it working, 44Mb wont be useful, but its 
the attempt, not the utility.
