I am trying to get NetBSD 1.1 installed on a Mac IIvi. It has Sys 7.5.1 running, a 
Apple 24.8 graphics adapter, a FPU, and 12 MB of RAM.

When I partition a new Seagate ST51080N and install the essential binaries, 
everything goes fine until I actually boot the system. Then it confronts me with a 
message saying that NetBSD was not testet on this machine, even though it is a Mac 
IIvi which is listet in the README as being testet.
Then at some point (it happens quite often) I get a SCSI error, saying something 
like invalid data. I will post more precise error messages if anyone thinks he can 
help me.

Please, feel free to email if you know of the bug or have any suggestions!

Sincerely, Thorsten
