I guess that was my initial question. As far as I can tell, none of the
kernels is individually documented except with cursory comments about unix
internals that I have no knowledge of. So, to rephrase the question: which
kernels work with a vanilla IIci-internal video? (And do the other binaries
have to match the version of the kernel?)

This response suggests that 1.1 works on the IIci. Therefore, the question
becomes what am I doing wrong? I had 1.0-patched working a while back, but
I've having trouble regaining the glory of past months.
(Basically, it doesn't matter whether vt100 or vt220 is selected; the
system crashes on the first screen scroll. Typing "clear does not change
this.)
Many thanks for all of the responses.
