I am attempting to set up a IIci, and so (logically enough) I decided to
try NetBSD out under MacOS before committing to the whole installation.
I pulled down booter 1.9.5 and unBinHexed and unStuffed it, and I grabbed
kernel 1.2.1, which I ungzipped and untarred. I put them both into a
folder, and attempted to boot. I've tried it with monitor in 1, 2, 4,
and 8-bit modes, both Mac Display Card 4*8 and IIci internal video, and
with cache and ethernet card in and out. I always get the same thing.
The computer makes it up to:
Set _mac68k_vrsrc_vec to {0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 }.
And (since I told it to ask before booting, so that I could see where the
problem was and review my env dumps) it proceeds to ask if I want to
continue the boot. I say yes, and it locks up about 1 or 2 seconds
later. Nothing else comes onto the screen, and I have extra debugging
on, debugging set to level 10...
Anybody have any ideas? I think I saw this before when I tried
to make a Performa 640 work (I gave up on THAT quick), and I think I got
it past there, but I don't remember how.
By the way, I have 8M of RAM, with MacOS 7.1 installed. I don't
know if that is of any importance.
Thanks for any assistance.
