I ran NetBSD on an LC 476 (essentially an identical system). After the
video changes I made in August, I had no problems with it outside of the
normal 68LC040 issues. Two things to note:
- The video changes are not absolutely required, but they do get the
console aligned properly, and I seem to recall that X crashes in
some instances on earlier kernels.
- The 47x series use the esp SCSI driver, so it doesn't matter which
of the two kernels you use.
