- May be. Try it without these "boot patches". My NetBSD 1.1 kernel
- didn't seem to appreciate much more than "assign env: ram: in
- its "startup-sequence".

- Maybe the loadbsd -Iff parameter helps, the 1.1 kernel I tried had
- problems without it. I would say it could be controller-related
- if the kernel does boot with the bootfloppy itself.

- Could also be the Retina, seems there are some problems with it.
