Subject: Mac IIci won't boot...

This is a conundrum. I used to have MacBSD up and running (with
X, even) on my IIci (20MB Ram) at work. Unfortunately, that machine got
re-assigned, so I had to abandon the project temporarily.
I just got another one back (lacking an Ethernet card, sadly) and
quickly hooked my trust 200MB MacBSD drive up to it, ran the booter,
and... and... Nothing. It won't boot.
I reformatted the drive, repartitioned it (I didn't like how the
partitions had ended up anyways), and re-installed everything from
scratch. It still won't boot. Here's what happens:
I've got it set to boot Single User, Autosize the Ram (it
correctly divines 20MB), from SCSI 6. I'm using Generic-5 from puma,
although I've also tried it with John Wittkowski's most recent kernel,
with similar results. It seems to hang directly after the mrg: ADB
Interrupts Enabled message.
My question is, what comes next? I can't remember anymore, and
it seems if I knew what was just about to happen, I might be able to
figure out what's going so horribly wrong...
