	This directly from the mac_bsd FAQ:

It definitely does *not* run on any 68040's.  That's mainly because
the '040's MMU is different from the '030 and '851.  The NetBSD/Amiga
group has working code for their '040's, so that's being integrated into
our code.  When will that be accomplished?  When it gets done. Also,
the SCSI chip is different on many of the '40 Macs, but that's not as
big of a problem.
