This : makes things a it harder, to put it mildly. At boot, I get this message: : nubus0: s:13 t:4 "MacCon Ethernet, Asante Technologies, Inc." not configured What chip is on that card? The mac68k port, so far as I know, supports only a limited number of ethnernet driver chips. You may be out of luck with that card, I'm not sure. : X: I've installed the monochrome X tarball available from (er...) somewhere : for the Mac68k version of NetBSD. I get a message about __sys_errorlist or : something similar, and then startx fails. I think I have an old library : somewhere. Does anyone have a newer version of ny of the necessary libraries? Okay, I'm guessing here, so don't put a lot of value in this: I'm not sure that X can run on 1.0. You may have to update to some newer libraries. (If you want to try this, look at ftp://ftp.eskimo.com/u/w/wormey/netbsd where Steve Allen kindly keeps very up-to-date, and sometimes unofficial, tarballs, kernels, and other goodies.) By the way, you're not running dt while trying to launch X, are you? Oh, a final note...If you're using the March 11, 1995 distribution of X (if you're not, you should, it's smaller), be sure that in /etc/rc.local you change the line with "ldconfig" to be "ldconfig /usr/X11R6/lib". Otherwise it won't because to find the shared libraries. Hope this info helps!
