First of all, you might get better help from the port-mac68k mailing
list... ;-)
I've not seen, nor ever heard of this kind of behavior. The message
about the video address is not an error message and it's quite normal
for a machine using NuBus video.
What kind of video card do you have? What is the exact address for the
video? 0xff000bb00 is certainly not it. ;-)
It would also help to know what version of the booter you're using, what
the booter settings are, how much RAM you've got, and if you're in
32-bit mode with MacOS VM turned off and anything like RAMDoubler away
from the system. Oh, and what NuBus cards you might have other than
the video (if any).
Patience! 1.1 is running on a number of IIcx's--I expect it'll run on
yours soon...
Thanks,
