What kernel are you using? The 1.2 release kernel should work just fine
on a IIci, but the LCIII requires a -current kernel. As for the LC580,
what is it? If it's LC040-based, it may marginally work, there is
currently still a little bug with floating point emulation for the
LC040-based machines.
As far as the SE goes, sorry, it will _not_ run under NetBSD. It only
has a MC68000 processor, which doesn't have decent enough memory
management for NetBSD to work (not to mention it'd be painfully slow if
it did work).
I hope this helps.
Later.
