I tried booting NetBSD 1.2 on my Mac IIvi.
It boots fine with
  - serial console
  - (fake) internal video
but it stops dead when I use my Lapis fullpage display 
( 640x873 pixel, 1 - 8 bit gray scale,
  graphic card: ColorServer II Lapis-15, CS II-15L) .
Unfortunaltely this is the only display I have...
  

When booting with Booter 1.9.4, this is how far it gets:

I tried the GENERIC kernel and a kernel I compiled myself from
current-sources around Dec. 16th. The result stays the same.

The very same graphic card works fine with NetBSD 1.1 kernels I
compiled in mid april 1996.  A kernel compiled end june 1996 (still
NetBSD 1.1) didn't work, but I am not sure whether it is the same
problem. 

Any ideas or comments on this?
