I have been fiddling with MacBSD for time to time and this time I desided to
try and get it to run on my IIci

At the beginning the kernel could not be found. Now it finds the kernel, starts
checking everything and then it stops straight after it prompts you to choose a
shell

I am following the instructions to install MacBSD to the letter and have got
somewhere but I stop at the Shell request prompt

something of the lines of "Enter full path of shell or hit return for sh"

If I hit return, it stops
If I type in a path of a shell. f.e. /bin/sh or /bin/csh, a small fragment of a
line appears at the top of the screen which I can't read and the system is
frozen again.

Can anyone help me out?
Or point me to a mailing list (or both)

my System is as follows

Mac IIci 8MB/250+122HD
with ethernet card.

Thanks in advance
