I am using internal video, and the monitor that shipped w/ the IIsi.
I'm using Booter 1.9.2...
I took your advice and now it doesn't even boot. In the NetBSD/Mac68K box
it says bye-bye, displays the dialog w/ the Boot button, but then the
computer freezes after I press the Boot button.
I think this problem is something to do w/ the newer kernal. If I turn
auto-size off again and set it to 4MB, and then boot w/ the newest
generic kernal, it freezes like described above.
If I turn auto-size back on and boot with the netbsd11 kernal, I get the
same result described in my previous letter. The computer boots, then
freezes.
I still don't have base11, none of the NetBSD sites are faster than
100bytes/sec for me...
And that's a 14.5 hour download at 14.4 :(
