NetBSD 1.2 (the official release) won't run on the LC-II or LC-III.  The 
MRG/ADB changes for these two systems went into the sources after the 
code freeze for 1.2.  NetBSD 1.2.1 should work on these systems, although 
1.2C in the 2/14/97 snapshot or 1.2D in the 4/8/97 snapshot might be 
better choices.  Although 1.2.1 seems to be more current than either of 
the two snapshots I believe it actually preceeds them and would be less 
confusing if it were named 1.2B. All of these releases and snapshots are 
built using the MRG code to support the ADB and these are the changes 
that went into NetBSD after the 1.2 release.

The HWDIRECT (or ADBTEST) Kernels worked on the LC-II and LC-III prior to 
the official 1.2 release. They should still work with the latest kernels 
built using HWDIRECT code.

One problem with the LC-II is that some systems seem to report that they 
are LC-IIs but in fact are not fully functional as an LC-II.  This seems 
to happen to LC systems that are upgraded with 68030 CPUs.  Although they 
meet all the hardware requirments to run NetBSD, they still report 
themselves as LCs, and won't work with the MRG/ADB code. They _might_ run 
with the HWDIRECT solution.
