Subject: Attempt to install NetBSD on Motorola StarMax 3000/200

Hello. I've been following the progress of the Mac port of NetBSD and had 
noticed it had gotten to run on a StarMax 3000/240, so I decided to give
a shot at installing it. The most recent kernel (Jul 29) provided the most
luck so far, given that I got somewhat of a device probe (the previous kernels
just hung after the kernel id message), and I'd thought I check to see if
anyone has any suggestions...

The firmware rev is 2.0.2, and this is using the console (have not succeeded 
in getting terminal off serial port to work). "load-base" was set to 100000, as
suggested by the linuxppc web site and past messages on this list. The machine
simply hangs after 'adb0' - for at least a week in one case... At the moment,
I am unable to compile any kernels for this platform :(

Any help would be appreciated.
