Cool. You have an LCII (2) right? (Not an LCIII (3)?). It would be great
to be able to add the LCII to the list of working machines.

Install the NetBSD 1.1 stuff as normal. Use Stuffit Expander to gunzip the 
ADBTEST.132.gz file so that it becomes ADBTEST.132. Use the Installer
to do: "cpin ADBTEST.132 /ADBTEST.132". Then boot, making sure you specify
that the boot image is in NetBSD and is named ADBTEST.132.
