**** Booting the system
+ [NOTE: IN PRIOR TO BOOTING NETBSD, there are a few things you should
+ make sure:
+ 1) Virtual Memory is turned OFF in Memory control panel,
+ 2) 32-bit addressing mode is turned ON in Memory control
+ panel,
+ 3) RAMdoubler is turned OFF if installed, and
+ 4) Video mode is set in 1-bit grayscale or color mode in
+ Monitor control panel.
+ You may have to restart your Mac for these changes to take effect.
+ Certain II-class machines have a "32-bit dirty" ROM for which it is
+ necessary to install Connectix's MODE32 to enable 32-bit addressing
+ mode. For more information, see NetBSD/mac68k FAQ at
+ http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/.]
+
Double-click on the NetBSD/mac68k Booter icon to start the application.
Check that the options in the Booting dialog look sane -- especially the
SCSI ID. If not, correct them to your preference. When you are satisfied
