May I recommend GENERIC#5 from puma??? Tis the most stylish kernel for the
IIci that I have encoutnered in quite a while... It  is far mroe stable than
any of the pre-Ehter/SCSI-fix kernels, and appears to actually boot with
regularity (I have been running it successfully all month)..

Anyway, the only problem is that its self-esteem isn't where it should:
NetBSD/mac68k does not trust itself to write to pram on this machine.

Certainly is a message you will see fairly often.  Also, the sound on it is
extremely quiet and sometimes non-existent (darned system beep), and the
kernel will occassionally and somewhat inexplicibly drop into a white text on
black background mode which is just fine for me since I can read this much
easier.  Incidentally, has any other MacBSDophile considered adding perhaps a
config option so that the kernel console could be white-on-black.  MacBSD
doesn't really run on any laptops, and I know it would be at least easier for
us visually impaired types.  I tried making these changes to dt, but had
little luck.  I could get the text to draw in reverse, but I was missing som
sort of a function to change which drew in large blocks as when I ran the
clear command.. Thoguths?
