Actually, I had some success with an LCII as well. It's been
a while, so I forget the details, but I remember it having
some trouble with the memory detection and I had to disable
the startup console stuff (since the hacks to enable the
resource manager didn't work with the Universal ROM).

I don't see why it wouldn't work on an LCIII as long as you
don't mind booting from floppy all the time (or making a
separate partition that claims to be for MacOS but has a
UFS filesystem on it).

Oh yeah, and you will probably have to update it to compile
on ELF systems. Right now it will boot an ELF kernel, but I
never upgraded from 1.5.1 so it only build on a.out.

I'm afraid I have little interest in NetBSD/mac68k at this
point (too many other projects), but if anyone wants I can
try and package up with I have in the way of native boot
code for someone else to mess with. Making it actually
ussable should just be a small matter of programming.
