Thanks. I will look into that.

Usually, yes. This is a bizarre case, though. The program is
the NetBSD/Mac68k Booter, which basically checks for appropriate HW,
sets some environment variables, loads a Unix kernel and executes it.
I am the maintainer of the program, and being able to test it in B2
is a real time saver.
The MacOS program checks for the presence of an MMU because
the Unix kernel needs an MMU. The MacOS program itself doesn't use
the MMU though - it actually fails if MacOS VM is on.
> Unless the MMU is implemented, B2 should report it as missing.
Agreed. I just want to hack it in to my own copy of B2,
for this one program I am testing.
