Just noting this, because i wasnt sure before if was just randomly
crashing somewhere, or if it crashed while trying to shutdown.

ok.  After I tell it to boot, act calls the shutdown manager, then locks
up.  nothing that would imply that it switched from macos to netbsd.  I
went an followed the normal installtion, (all the packages except the sec.
one), and genericsbc-32 kernel.  I went and checked the FAQ, turned on
B&W, 32-bit memory on, give the booter 18000k ram to run, made sure i had
the right kernel name, correct root scsi id, correct ammound of total ram,
and auto-size, turned off all extentions (running 7.5.5 too).  under
options->booting I have  singer user, extra debugging info, show dialong &
wait for OK, and halt boot on non-fatal errors on (booter 1.10.1).  I have
the kernel location set to NetBSD/mac, correct kernel name, partition, and
memory set. Under Options->Serial, I have nothing checked.

Anything else?  Should I be using the non-sbc kernel?
