Well I was able to get everything installed on the partitions and
thought I was there when it came the first-boot trial. And it didn't
(boot).
Here is the info, hopefully a easy/already known fix:
Hardware:
LC II (Performa 405) (68030 processor)
No NIC
No FPU
Original Mac Keyboard/Mouse
420 Meg Quantum TrailBlazer Hard Drive SCSI(TRB420S)
10 Meg RAM
Software: version:
Mkfs 1.45
Installer 1.1g
Booter 1.11.3
Kernels Tried:
NetBSD-GENERIC from the FTP site in kernels directory
Kern.tgz - Distribution Set
Kern_sbc.tgz - Distribution Set
Stated Problem:
The system starts to boot, gets out of MacOS and starts the NetBSD side
of things. Continues for a while (messages scroll) and then stops and
doesn't finish. It seems to be at the point of swapping control over
and fails.
Information Related and Useful (hopefully).....
Boot sequence leading up to and the problem: (using kern_sbc.tgz)

Further Diagnosis to possible help:
I went back to the Installer Program and ran MINISHELL:

Any suggestions would be MUCH appreciated!!!
And I can provide you with any further information that might be of
use....
Thanks again,
