It should be noted that I have not slept yet, and as such will probably
not even remember writing this message..

Hmm, if getting to 2.2.x is preferred to 2.3.x then I can try and do that
instead, note that the only way to boot and use the NeXT box is to have
the bootrom tftp the kernel, and use a nfs-root...

Good, I'll actually have a system which I feel like using a framebuffer
on so I can see the penguin!
Now, someone email me every few days and remind me to subscribe to the
m68k lists until I reply that I have done so...
Also, I'm going to need someone who knows DMA, and has at least a little
experience with kernel hacking.. (I have minimal experience, not enough to
try and get things working yet..)
