Most likely the reason that the 68020 adapter doesn't work in the
Unix PC is that the 68020's Bus Error/Address Error stack fram format
is quite different from that of the 68010.  The first time you get a
page fault things will fall apart.  Also, the power on diagnostics
may check for correct bus error handling.

Armed with the kernel .o files and a disassembler, you may be able to
hack a working kernel.
