Oh, maybe I forgot to mention that I've already installed the lot - it works
beautifully without the Carrera040 driver installed. =)

However, this is how far it got on boot, with extra debugging info:

[ preserving 9836 bytes of netbsd symbol tables ]
Bootstrapping NetBSD/mac68k.
Getting mapping from MMU.
System RAM: 17498112 bytes in 4272 pages
     Low = 0x4000000, high = 0x4f8000
     Low = 0x50000, high = 0x100000
  Video address = 0xfee08000
  Int video starts at 0xfee08000
  Length = 0x50000 (327680) bytes
Done.
Bootstrapping the pmap system.
Pmap bootstrapped.
Moving ROMbase from 0x40800000 to 0x9b4000.
Video address 0xfee08000 -> 0xbb4000.

...and then it stopped.

Some info: The card is a LC040, 66MHz internally. It's hooked up as PDS (of
course), on an expander card allowing either one PDS and one NuBus, or two
NuBus (I think). All I have on it is a Carrera card, no cache added. (There
is an empty cache slot on the Carrera040 card.)

I would appreciate any help, because I don't really consider myself such a
really great programmer, and therefore I doubt that I could do anything on
my own. =)
