  It's quite possible that I've overlooked something obvious, but maybe some
of you folks will have a suggestion for me.  I've installed netbsd on a
performa 575 12M ram, system 7.5.5.  040 processor.  I've tried the common
variations in the booter, and I've installed the math library that should help
offset the lack of a FPU.  Still, every time I attempt to boot netbsd I get
a single line at the top of my screen mentioning something about the ram:
(NOT an exact copy, but an approximation)
[ 123456 bytes of RAM blah blah kernel symbol table ]

And then it freezes.

Multi-user, single-user, B&W, no matter what.  I saw someone mention something
about an FPSP option in the kernel config file.  Without much experience in this
sort of thing, I have no idea what that is or how to make that change.

If anyone has any suggestions or custom kernels for my machine please let me
know.  OR, if you can explain to me how to make the changes myself I'd like to
try.

Mark
