I am trying to get NetBSD to run on my macintosh IIcx, it is in the list
of supported models, however every time I try to run the installer and
install base12 and the kernal it crashes part way through the install of
base12 and gives me an unimplemented trap error.

I have made my Root&User partition (86 megs), and my swap partition (16
megs, double the amount of ram as the docs suggest).  Then I used Mkfs to
make the file system.  Next the docs tell me to install the base, but I
get an unimplemented trap part way through the install every time I do.  I
even went to the trouble of downloading 1.1 and seeing if I had the same
problem, but no luck there either.

My setup is a Mac IIcx running system 7.1 and 8 megs of ram, with mode 32
on which it says I need.  I've tried with mode 32 off, all extensions off,
every time I get unimplemented trap error.  I also have another friend who
claims to have this same problem.

Please reply via this group or e-mail, either would be fine.
