I don't know if this is entirely relevent, but I've been trying to
get my IIsi running with its DayStar 040 for a while - I'm having
serious problems at the MMU initialization stage, so it sounds like
your friends getting much further in the boot than me. The best kernel
I have tried was GENERIC-18, with Scott Reynolds 040 MMU changes. These
changes have been removed from the more recent kernels to the best of
my knowledge - 3 weeks annual leave have left me slightly out-of-touch.

I think it's a IIsi quirk, but even System 7.5.5 virtual memory doesn't
work - I'll definitely query DayStar on that problem.
