Colin,

I think the NetBSD 1.2 page is incorrect on support of this machine.  I 
seem to recall helping someone (Josh Meyer?) get it running in the post 
1.1 days.  It's not really much different from my P-550 system (one ROM 
address is different) and we were able to identify this and build a 
working GENERIC Kernel back then. It was one of the first tests for the 
ROM Sniffer to discover the ROM address differences.

The GENERICSBC Kernels work much better on the LC520 especially when used 
with the internal 160Meg disk drive.

The one thing that is probably needed is a fairly current Booter.  
Version 1.9 or better I believe, but Nigel would be the best source of 
info on this.  Also as I recall he has some experience with NetBSD on the 
LC520. I think it was the first system he had to run NetBSD on, but that 
was only when his wife let him use her system.
