Try reading the FAQ and Meta-FAQ. Both should point you to sources of
recent kernels, but the most recent tend to be those compiled by Scott
Reynolds:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/mac68k/kernels/

Once again, this one is in the FAQ, but for future reference:
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.2/mac68k/X11/

That's Dire Straits, actually. Men-at-Work are the "I come from a land

What do you mean: when you try to run NetBSD it gives you a core dump?
What dumps core???? Do an fsck in single-user and see if this fixes the
problem...

Sounds good to me. I'm running on a 700 MB drive myself.
I hope this helps.
