Thanks Roger,

I do not understand why the
kern_sbc.tgz is not present in the
"/pub/unix/BSD/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.2/mac68k/binary/sets"
but exists in
"/pub/unix/BSD/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.4.1/mac68k/binary/sets"

finaly i have installed the 1.4.5 ALPHA2
with the kernel netbsd.GENERICSBC-60.tar.gz
and it wors perfectly (just some parity errors
on the scsi of the cdrom, maybe because no cdrom is
inserted ?! after the boot, i have no problem mounting
and reading an iso cdrom)

so the next step for me is to find and install
two etehernet adapters and to install / run rp-pppoe for
a connexion to an adsl line (this IIVX will act as
a router / firewall)
