To be clear, you're using the SBC kernels, right?

I've been running NetBSD 10 on an LC II which is very similar to the 
Classic II. The differences are that the Classic II has fixed 1 bit video, 
an external floppy port, and lacks the LC-PDS slot. I haven't tested this 
yet, but the emulated SCSI-ethernet device of the BlueSCSI should be able 
to give you networking in lieu of the LC-PDS slot.

The kernel config for NetBSD 10 follows. It can be adapted by removing 
nubus* and ethernet cards and by adding:

dse* at scsibus? target ? lun ?

Also add options FPU_EMULATE if your Classic II doesn't have an FPU.

Like Martin said, the dmesg from a kernel that does boot will definitely 
help here.
