I have an accelerated (68030) Classic and the Booter says NetBSD "requires
a 68020 with 68851 PMMU, or a 68030 or later to run", then it dies.

Don't know if NetBSD would actually boot if I could get past the Booter or not.

Would it be possible to "fix" NetBSD to run on pre-68030 Macs? Why is the
PMMU necessary? This would open it up to a LOT of machines.
