	Okay, I got netbsd out of the tarred, gzipped, GENERIC-22 file.
At least it doesn't complain that it's a bad format, but it doesn't get much
farther.  Is there a better choice of kernels for a Performa 636?  I seem to
recall being pointed to this one before.

	Unfortunately, the Installer doesn't like my machine.  Probably because
I can't get Mkfs 1.4 to do anything with my Bernoulli 44 drive (it thinks it's
1.6GB, and won't change any partitions on it...  =(

	Anyhow, here's what the Booter says:
Logging to bootlog
Booting...sizeof struct exec = 32

Set _boothowto to 0x3.
start address = 0x3382.
total kernel buffer space used = 1373712 (0x14f610).

  Bye-bye...
        So I sez to him...  The real way
        that it should be done is to...
Serial console flags = 0

Set _mac68k_vrsrc_cnt to 0.

Set _mac68k_vrsrc_vec to {0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 0x0 }.


At this point, the internal HD spins down, the Bernoulli unmounts,
and the machine locks (mouse doesn't move, doesn't respond to the 3
finger salute, etc, etc).  This is with System 7.5.3R2, 636 running
at 832x624 (tried both 256 and 2 colors), with and without extensions.
What should I try next?

	Thanks for the help so far, it's nice to finally be able to
make some progress...  =)
