  **** 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
