hope you can help...

i'm having a problem booting netbsd on my mac IIsi.

i just downloaded version 1.3.2 mac68k distribution from the ftp site.  i
also downloaded all the macintosh based install files.  the kern.tgz and
kern_sbc.tgz couldn't be unpacked, so i had to download the version 1.3.1
kernel.

my mac IIsi has 5MB RAM, 80MB hd, 12" Apple color display.  the hd is
partitioned with 50MB for Root&Usr, 15MB for swap, and about 15MB for HFS
(on which i have installed a bare-bones system 7.6.1 and the booter).

the problem i having is that the boot process hangs at the following
point:

[preserving 323048 bytes of netbsd symbol table]
Bootstrapping NetBSD/mac68k.
Getting mapping from MMU.
System RAM: 5210112 bytes in 1272 pages.
    Low = 0x4000000, high = 0x43f8000
    Low = 0x8000, high = 0x100000
    Low = 0x43f8000, high = 0x4400000
 no internal video at address 0 -- videoaddr is 0xfee08000
Done.
Bootstrapping the pmap system.
Pmap bootstrapped.
Moving ROMBase from 0x40800000 to 0x9f9000.
Video address 0xfee08000 -> 0xbf9000

i've tried playing around with the options, but haven't been able to get
any further than this.  i would appreciate it if you could help in any
way.

thanks.
