Whenever trying to boot from my IIsi I get the following message:

[ preserving 89324 bytes of netbsd symbol table ]
System RAM: 4194304 bytes in 1024 pages.
      Low = 0x4000000, high = 0x43f8000
      Low = 0x8000, high = 0x10000
Non-system RAM (nubus, etc.):
      Log = 0xf9000000, Phys = 0xf90000000, Len = 0x5e00000 (98566144d)
      Log = 0xfee00000, Phys = 0x0, Len = 0xfff00000 (4293918720d)
      Log = 0xfef00000, Phys = 0xfef00000, Len = 0x1000000 (1048576d)
  no internal video at address 0 -- videoaddr is 0xfee08000.

Then it freezes.

I am using a IIsi, 5MB of RAM, System 7.5.3 Revision 2.

I have followed the IIsi specific directions, which include setting my 
amount of RAM to 4MB. Debugging is off. 

I am booting Single User, no serial boot echos or console. No env dumps.

I am booting off of a EZ drive (but I am pretty sure this would not be a 
problem, since I can install packages, etc. onto it).

The only packages I currently have installed are etc11 and netbsd11. 

I am trying to get base11, but will this solve my problem? (BTW, all the 
listed NetBSD mirrors seem very slow...is it just me?)

And, of course, I am in mono w/ no extensions...

Any help would be appreciated...
