After a couple of months of trying, I finally got a kernel that will run 
on my PB145, but only through the serial port.  Still getting:

ps adb failure (string of numbers)
(string of numbers)
timed out....

I can't even *find* an error log file to cpout and post.

If anyone has any idea how, I'd love to see an fsck utility on the MacOS-
side.  The "Magic Number" on my Root partition got screwed up, the fsck 
won't work without an FPU, since the kernel (netbsd.9.26) doesn't seem to 
include the fpe, and crashes with the message Floating-Point exception 
error, core dumped.  Upon trying to execute a program, the system dropped 
into the debugger.  I kept continuing and it eventually restarted.  The 
booter tjem refused to recognize my root partition.  If an fsck existed 
MacOS-side, I could have fixed it.  Fortunately, no great loss, only a 
little bit of install time wasted... this time.  Is there a way to create
a bare-bones NetBSD runtime/kernel package that would fit on a floppy (as 
soon as the floppy drive works, of course) as a way of doing an emergency 
startup to fsck the root?  If not, are there any MacOS apps that can 
execute 68k binaries?

On a final note, if anyone ever decides to update the installer, I only 
would like one additional feature: am rm * command to clear an entire 
directory.  I never use the manual pages and don't have room on my 
external drive to hold them.

Now I have to go and delete a few megs of man pages.

Later,
