I hope the following is helpful information.

I'm trying to install and boot NetBSD/mac68k on a Mac IIci

Hardware is 32 MB ram, a 40Mhz/68040 Daystar accelerator with 128k cache,
Radius 24XK display card, Apple ethernet NB card, and ThunderStorm DSP NB
card. Installation is to Quantum LPS 240, formatted for A/UX.

INSTALL PROBLEM

There seems to be a problem with the installer app. I ran it 'as is' and
got system errors 'unimplemented trap' each of three times, at different
points during the installation of the base12 archive [ ./sbin/fstab and
./sbin/dumplfs with the console also reporting 'sz 8192'].

Increasing installer app memory partition to 2000k enabled it to install
the base12 archive until it hit [user/bin/lesskey], at which point it
stalled.

Increasing installer app partition to 3000k enabled it to install the comp
archive until it got to [./usr/share/man/cat2/msgctl.o], at which point it
stalled.

Increasing installer app partition to 6000k enabled it to complete the
installation of the archives (did not try a reinstall of comp yet).

BOOT PROBLEM

Booting fails according to the following log file.
