Actually, 1.2.1 _did_ support the LCII and LCIII, or at least they were
supposed to do so.  That's about the only mac68k-specific difference
between 1.2 and 1.2.1.

However, the problems seen here are with the adb support.  Either the
user was moving the mouse or typing on the keyboard when he booted, or
else there is simply a problem with adb support on that machine.  Do you
have any unusual ADB hardware?

I'd try a much more recent -current kernel if the above doesn't work.
John Wittkowski's latest HWDIRECT? kernel should work just fine on the
LCII, as should any kernel compiled w/o 'options MRG_ADB' (there are
several on ftp.netbsd.org in the kernels directory, check the README for
which ones).

I hope this helps.

Later.>
