Hmmmm....how much swap did you have before?  How much RAM?  I would think
that a NetBSD kernel could still fit within 4MB of RAM...but maybe not.
You should probably have at least 20MB of RAM + swap at any rate, tho.

NetBSD/mac68k doesn't support the in-kernel virtual console that Linux
(and NetBSD/i386) does, but there is a solution if you prefer it:  use the
'dt' utility instead.  You can find a copy of 'dt' on ftp.macbsd.com.  It
supports virtual terminals which run a lot faster than the native console.
You switch between them using Command-1, etc.  It also supports cut and
paste :-)  Very nice unless you prefer X.

I hope this helps.

Later.
