Very Computer

loaded all binaries as instructed and upon booting it states

"You need a PMMU or a 68030 or above to run this"  "Orange Whip"

I have a MAC II with an 80MB HD, 2MB partitioned for MAC o/S, the rest an
A/UX partition.  Does that mean I can't run NetBSD on this machine? or am
I doing something wrong?

Any and all comments appreciated.

You can run NetBSD on a MacII, but you will need to get a pmmu(not very
expensive) and plug it in where the mmu is now. Then it will work fine!

You are doing nothing wrong except overlooking the error message and the
hardware requirements...  ;-)

The 68020 has no inherent facilities for paged memory management.
NetBSD needs to have a PMMU (68851) with the 68020.  The 68030 and
68040 have that functionality built-in (in slightly different ways).

So, you need to pick up a PMMU to replace the HMMU that Apple has
filling the slot, or you need to get a 68030 upgrade (an accelerator
(which may not work under NetBSD--some successes have been noted)
or a IIx upgrade (which will also give you the 1.4MB floppy support
on the motherboard and ROMs that will allow you to use more memory,
I think)).
