If you'll look in at http://www.findmail.com/list/port-mac68k/
you can check for any old stuff about PB180's.  I've got one, and
Takashi Hamada's kernels are the only ones that have worked
with my PB180 using the LCD screen.   The regular, generic releases
seem to work when booted on the serial port (with "Open Serial Ports"
option checked, as someone mentioned).

Takashi's page is: http://www.lisanet.org/~hamada/Acti/Netbsd/netbsd.html

I'm using the kernel http://www.lisanet.org/~hamada/Acti/Netbsd/Kernels/PMTEST.980404.iv.ncr.mrg.tgz

The SBC kernels don't seem to work on the PB180.  Also, although it
is a great idea, the HWDIRECT kernels don't seem to work, either.
So you want the iv (internal video), ncr (SCSI driver) mrg (Mac-Rom Glue)
kernels Takashi's got.  It's not the latest code, but it'll boot, anyway,
and work with the LCD screen.
