On 11:37 PM 14/4/96, M.Hitter wrote a message claiming that he had succeeded
in running MacBSD in multi-user mode on an LCII with "4MB RAM, 1GB HD, no 
extras".  Has anyone else succeeded in getting an LCII to run in multi-user
mode?

I was wondering whether the problems experienced by others had anything to
do with the amount of RAM used in their computers?  According to an 
information sheet published by Apple, if you put two 4Mb SIMMs into the
type of LCII with 4Mb RAM soldered to the motherboard, 2Mb of the
motherboard RAM becomes inaccessible, giving a total of 10Mb usable RAM.

I wonder whether, in this configuration, the LCII has "holes" in its
physical address space and has to use the PMMU to produce a contiguous
virtual address space, even when virtual memory is turned off in the 
"Memory" control panel!  Does anyone know whether this might be the cause
of the problems with running MacBSD in multi-user mode?
