I am a newbie, but I like to think I can follow directions.

In the second week in July, I downloaded the entire netbsd121 suite from
ftp.eecs.umich.edu site, hoping to get it to run on my Mac ][ 8/260 with an
Apple Macintosh ][ video card, and a Dove Marathon hardwired 68030
accellerator.  It seems to have been compatible with all the other software
I have used over the last 5 years, and is significantly faster than the
][ci I'm writing this on now.

The ][ci being the 'Net-connected machine, I DL'd the files to it, then
transferred them to the straight ][ using my Syquest. I attempted to
install the binaries using the netBSD/Mac Install Utility, and after
several attempts, successfully uncompressed all of the files into the UFS.
When I attempted to boot, sometime last week, and having tried several
times before, using BSD/Mac68k Booter 1.9.4, it hung, as it had all the
times before, after printing the line:

Set _mac68k_vrsrc_cnt to 0x1.

with the wristwatch stuck in the middle of the screen.

I then read the FAQ (I should have RTFM'd first, I guess, but it didn't
make any difference anyhow.)

Since then, I have tried netbsd12 kernel, netbsd11 kernel, booters thru
1.10.0, and reinstalling the binary sets for 1.1 and 1.2, as well as 1.2.1.
Still no luck.  After Seth's pleas for help, I tried the following three
things, still with no luck:

(1) Setting monitor to B&W with the Monitors Control Panel;
(2) Attempting to boot kernel x from the MacOS partition;
(3) Reinstalling various versions of the MacOS, from 7.0 through 7.5.3--I
am currently using 7.1, because of its compactness.

I have run mkfs numerous times, reformatted and repartitioned the disk
several times, my current settings are MacOS 40 Meg, A/UX Root 100 Meg,
Swap 24 Meg, Eschatology (shoot!  I forgot!) and Slice 3 the balance.  The
driver partition and the lockout partition are both negligible, i think
about 64K each.

I don't want to sound frustrated, but I'm surprised Seth and I are the only
ones who are experiencing freezes, since they seem to appear at exactly the
same place.  I enclose the bootlog which is most recent, from an attempt to
boot from the Mac partition.  I do notice that Harry is not equal to the
copycode, as the debug messages indicate, this should be so... but I've
never met Harry!

It seems clear that there is a lot of talent out there, and for the insight
which all of you have already provided, I am most appreciative.  Still, my
netBSD isn't running.  Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

TIA.

Then it says something like:

Closing bootlog

Then it freezes everything, including the power button on the back of the
box.  I'm really getting tired of unplugging this venerable old Mac ][.
