You've made it to the right place. :-)

I think it means you're in 24-bit memory mode. You must be in 32-bit
addressing mode for NetBSD to work.

You need a kernel more-recent than 1.1. We're just getting ADB (keyboard
and mouse) support to work, plus the fpu emmulator (which you need)
was incorperated after 1.1 was frozen.

You probably ought to throw the memory control panel in.

Also you might look at getting more hard disk space. NCA, a bay-area
peripherals company w/ good hard disk prices was advertising Quantum
535 SCSI drives for $165 this weekend. You should double-check the
physical size, but I think such a beast would fit in the LC II.
Others please correct me if I'm wrong!

I'm not sure where all the kernels are hiding today, but the generally-
good place to find things is on puma.bevd.blacksburg.va.us, one of
Allen Briggs's machines.

Actually, I see that traceroute says iccom.com's mail is handled by
zzz.com, which hooks to the internet in Seattle. You might talk to
Steve Allen, wormey@eskimo.com. He has done a great job of putting
together releases of the current source. My mac is running binaries
he compiled (thanks Steve!). :-)

Good luck!
