Some versions of Bug seems to rely on the clock running in order for the
network commands to work.

I don't recall off the top of my head which Bug command actually
kick-starts the clock, but I'm sure the "HE" command will give some clues
(I'd run up my VME rack to find out, but it's already hot enough here
without that thing running ;-).

The mvme68k installation instructions should provide enough information to
get things running. Make sure you've done everything described in the
"Preparing your System for NetBSD installation" section of the document.

Cheers, Steve
