Thanks for information, Freederick.  But it is too heavy for my system.
I have only 160MB-HD, while updating "lex", "yacc" and so on require large
spaces on a disk.

Thanks for info, Tom.
I tried the snapshot, but failed.  Just after the boot sequence is detached
from Booter on MacOS, my system freezes.  I got no message from NetBSD.  
I'm not sure whether it caused from tty devices.



The situation of mine is as follows, and I got my kernel on 1.4.1 binary sets and 
sources with Ishizaka's patch available on 
"http://www.sam.hi-ho.ne.jp/ishizaka/patch-eth-lc.gz".
It works fine, at last.


System:
 MAC LC475 with replaced 68040 running 25MHz with LC Ehternet card.
 "Tattletech" reports LC card as follows;
 ・瘢雹 Nubus/PDS Slot# = $0E
    Board Name = Macintosh LC Ethernet Adapter 
    Board ID = 46
    Vendor ID = Copyright (C) 1990-92 Apple Computer, Inc. 
            All Rights Reserved. 
    Revision Level = ROM revision 1.1 
    Part# = 341-0470 
    Functional Resources :
      + Device sResource Name = ENET
         - Device Category = 4  (Network)
         - Device Type = 1  (EtherTalk)
         - Device Software Interface Type = 1
         - Device Hardware Type = 271
         - Device sResource# = $81
         - Driver Number = -50
  NetBSD : 1.4.1 based binary sets and sources

Situation: 
 (1) As NetBSD boot, LC card is detected wrong as "ae", while it should be "sn".
 (2) GENERIC kernels including "current-snapshot" fails, as (1).
 (3) Kernels build with sources of 1.4.1, without definition of "ae" in configuration,
  boot on LC475 with LC card.  LC card is detected as "sn0", however, a recognized MAC
  address is wrong.  After shell prompt comes, "ifconfig" fails and system freezes.
 (4) Without "ae" definition and with source patch of Ishizaka's, available on 
   "http://www.sam.hi-ho.ne.jp/ishizaka/patch-eth-lc.gz", bootable kernel is built on 
    1.4.1 system on LC475.  This kernel looks OK, and "ipconfig" works fine, also.
 (5) With "ae" definition in configuration and with source patch of Ishizaka's, build 
    kernel doesn't boot on my LC475.  The kernel is available on 
   "http://www.sam.hi-ho.ne.jp/ishizaka/netbsd-etherLC.tar.gz" 

Current Solution:
  Build kernel without "ae" definition with source patch of Ishizaka's.

Although it is a report against 1.4.1, the situation is described above.
Where shall I file and submit the situation to?  Are there required formats?
I'm going to try the same procedure on 1.4.2, but takes days due to the 
power of 25MHz. :-)

Thanks for kind cooperation,
