My NetBSD hangs after running fine for a few minutes (5-15) on my
MacIIcx/8megs RAM. (I boot from system 7.1 with no extensions save
Mode32). Anyone have a quick fix for this problem? The hang is just
that: the system freezes and accepts no more input from the keyboard -
I have to reboot it. Any ideas? Thanks.

No quick fix, but a suggestion. Try installing the kernel debugger,
learn how to hotkey into it and the next time you freeze see if the
hotkey still works. From there you can get a kernel stack trace to
see what routine you are in, a "ps" to see what was running, and other
clues that you can use to beg for help with.
P.S. I can't mail to ssapozni@mercury.sfsu.edu (no such user comes back)
