This has just been discussed on this list to the death. In a
nutshell, you need to get either MC68851 PMMU or 030 accelerator. Get
the mailing list archive for the last couple of days.

Is LCII an 020 or an 030? If it has an 020, you need a PMMU just like
you do with Mac II. But I'm not sure if LCII has a socket for it.
It's not problem with NetBSD/mac68k, it's just the 020 which isn't
capable of running any modern flavor of UN*X without the help of the
PMMU.
