http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/info/info-2.html#ss2.2 says:

Note: Current kernels should boot just about any of the Daystar '030
(and probaby '040) accelerators.  However, two users have had trouble
getting an '030 accelerator to work on their Mac II's (which has an
'020 by default). Likewise, '030-users have had trouble getting '040
accelerator working with their machines.

The date at the bottom of the page says 2001/02/04. What was the current
kernel at that time?

I tried, once, to boot my IIci with a stock 1.5.2 kernel and a
Daystar '040 in it. It didn't work. Or was that OpenBSD? I can't
remember if it was before or after I put NetBSD on it.
