Hi! I was wondering if any of you might know why I get the following
error after booting-
"Bootstraping the Pmap System...
Failure in BSD Boot. Nextpa=0x118000, high[0] = 0x100000
You're hosed! Try booting with 32 bit mode enabled...
[suggestion about mode32 and older macs deleted]
panic! Can't use current memory mapping."

I have 4 Megs of Ram, System 7.01 if I enable 32 bit addressing  the
machine doesn't even get past checking the video before crashing! 
"No internal video at address 0 -- videoaddr is 0xfee09a80"
And just hangs.
Without 32 bit enabled, it gets much farther in the boot process, and
I understand that NetBSD/Mac can run on SE/30's so I don't think that
having a Black and White display could be the problem. What do you
think?
Thanks
