This sure does sound strange to me...

I loaded my system (Mac II, 5MB mem, 100MB HD, PMMU, Mode 32, Sys 7.1)
with all the Alpha2 tars, and it runs the netbsd.II kernel just fine,
except for the Multitude-of-disks problem.  Also can compile a working
kernel.

Just occurred to me -- I am using the original Alpha2 etc.tar.gz and
var.tar.gz, not the re-released ones.  Maybe the new ones could be a
problem source?
