I have two questions:

1. what is the story about MacBSD support for MacIIfx?

2. what is the story about ethernet support on MacIIx?

This is what I am trying to do:

the kernel from netBSD-1.0 boots on a borrowed macIIx
	(it's owner was really happy to get my macIIfx
	in exchange :-) but I cannot get the eithernet
	network to function: about 10 seconds after I type
	root> ifconfig ae0 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
	I see the message (approximately) "ethernet ring buffer overflow"
	and the machine freezes.

I tried to boot newer kernels (from NetBSD-current and from ftp.eskimo.com)
	but neither of them boot- they hang after complaining about
	my graphics card. I can give more details if anybody wants them.
