O.K. I finally got things installed and working (more or less). I even went
back and installed the kernel image and modules and that part of the
installation went fine.

This was my fault (more or less). HFS support in the kernel image I was
using (vmlinux-980506.ELF) was broken: the files showed up when you listed
the directory, but everything had size zero. I copied the kernel image off
of the resc1440-mac.bin disk, fed it to Penguin, and I was able to extract
the tar image during the installation.
My main task now is to get the ethernet card working . . . The first trouble
seems to be with modules: The kernel (which I took from resc1440-mac.bin)
is 2.0.29, but the modules (which I took from amiga/drv1440.bin) are for a
2.0.33 kernel (and things fail on boot-up with the warning "no modules
present for this kernel"). And I'm not even sure if the driver I need is a
module in this disk. Any recommendations? Is there a recommended kernel
with the appropriate ethernet drivers compiled in? (I have a IIci with the
Apple ethernet card.)
On a related note, the following shows up during boot-up:
Scanning nubus slots:
nubus: rewind of 32748
board resource not found
Does this mean anything important?
Thanks for any information.

P.S. Is there any way to get change this ugly pink on white screen?
