So I've got a IIfx. Duh. Major problem.

Apparently, the kernel (a) cannot access the ADB, (b) nor the serial ports
(yes I did switch them to compatible mode), (c) something else goes wrong
which drops me into the kernel debugger with a kernel jump to NULL which I
obviously cannot trace back since I can't type anything. Grumble. Never has
a debugger prompt been so frustrating.

I'd like to do something about this. Help is appreciated. Specifically, if
there is a system with NetBSD-current on it, on which I can get an account,
and which I can use to compile a new kernel, I'd be grateful. If that
system is in Germany (cheaper to access for me, since I have to pay for my
bits), I'd be ecstatic.

I used the 1.8 booter and the GENERIC kernel from
ftp.eskimo.com:/~wormey/netbsd.
