Feel free to blast the Autorecovery partition and combine it into your 
A/UX Root & User partition...it's not needed by non-A/UX systems (and 
from my understanding, it's not really needed under A/UX either).

You really might want to get some more RAM if you can, tho.

You might try a newer kernel than the ADBTEST#160.  I think that -current 
GENERIC kernels should support the ClassicII just fine.

I can't remember if ADBTEST#160 did support the Classic II or not (I 
think it did).  However, it might be really useful if we had some context 
for the error above...what did the output from the boot sequence say 
right before this error (i.e. how far along in the boot was it before it 
died...)

Later.
