Last time I tried (can't remember exactly when, but probably was around
May or so), NetBSD-current was broken on my Performa 630 with the
68LC040 chip, spitting MMU traps during boot.  I built the release with
MKSOFTFLOAT=3Dyes.

NetBSD 2.0 worked surprisingly well.  (Also built by me, using
MKSOFTFLOAT=3Dyes obviously.)

I'd blame the microprocessor if I had never got NetBSD working on that
machine, but given that 2.0 worked fine, I'm not so sure it is its fault.
