You're welcome! I tried to make it as easy to understand as possible.

And thank you Jeff, for the tip on help with PAP.

I may regret pre-announcing something, but I have taken my IIcx and truned
it into a web server dedicated to NetBSd/mac68k information.  You can
check it out at 

http://bullwinkle.aisol.net/

In there, I have a page of links for various NetBSD pages, my PPP page, a
list of FTP sites, an small archive of some programs I have compiled, and
instructions on setting up NetBSD to read and input Japanese text.  There
are also two sections that are not yet up. One is my master plan for a
kernel locator.  The other is an HTML version of my NetBSD diary.  

My plan for the kernel locator is to have a database of information with
these fields: Mac Type, Video Card Type, Kernel, Level of Console Support
(serial only, internal console but no grf, monochrome X, color X), FTP
URL, person who entered information, date record updated, and e-mail
address of updater.  Then, new users can enter their Macintosh model, and
it will give a list of kernels that will work with known video cards and
where they cna be downloaded.  I will also have another page where people
can add their kernel information into the database.  Finally, I also want 
to have a page that explains the basic types of kernels and their intended
uses.  For example, we have GENERIC, GENERICSBC, ADB-TEST, Madhatter, and
a managerie of others.  My goal is to try to cut down on the "what kernel
should I use for my Mac XXX?" questions.

I have almost finished all the necessary CGI.  I hope to have something up
maybe by the end of the weekend.  I will post here when I am ready to go.

I also plan to put my instructions for setting up Japanese on NetBSD into
Japanese.  It seems that there are many Japanese users of NetBSD, so I
would like to help make more information available to them in Japanese.
