There should have been a line such as
adb:  extended keyboard at 15
or something like that (that's just bs'ing it off the top of my head, plus
it wouldn't read as extended, but still) in order for the kernel to work.
It sounds like the powerbook keyboard is returning a different value and
the probe is ignoring it, but who knows.  Ideas, anyone?  I'm about to try
this with a 145, if anybody thinks it has a chance.  I can connect an
external keyboard if anybody thinks it'd do some good.  Which would be
better?  An AppleDesign or a "Model number 685-5801" (Apple IIgs adb
keyboard from a little later than the Mac Plus :-)?

No.  That's just a little quirk in reading the time.  I have no idea why
it does that, but every system I've used w/ NetBSD since... I dunno, many
months ago... has done that.

At the end of the booter, when the NetBSD kernel takes over, it allocates
the entire memory space to itself anyway, so it doesn't really matter, so
long as the booter has enough memory to load the kernel (it'd stop early
in the booter if it didn't, I think).
