Greetings,
   I have finally gotten around to loading up NetBSD (1.2.1) on my MacIIci.
Everything was done by the book, and everything seems to have worked
properly.  However, when I got to the step of running the booter, it
started going and then came up with the following error:

    ae0 at nubus0: address 00:00:00:00:00:00; type Ethernet A-Series, lbk mem.
    Changing root device sd0a.
    sd0: mode sense (4) returned nonsense; using fictitious geometry
    sd0: mode sense (4) returned nonsense; using fictitious geometry
    PRAM: 0x33e20c87, macos_boottime: 0x33e20c7a.
    Panic: kernel jump to zero
    Stopped at       _Debugger+0x6: unlk a6

I have reloaded everything (including reformatting and re-newfs'ing the
drive.)  The booter appears to have all the correct settings to load from
sd0a, but seems to always come up with this error.  The disk is a standard
Apple 80sc, which I imagine shouldn't give any problems.

Where to go next?

Many Thanks,
   --dhw
