Are you saying that you have booted NetBSD current with a pre GENERIC-20
kernel? Or that all the installs completed fine?

This could be your problem. I remember reading on this list some time
ago that the minimum system install (as would be found on the Disk
Tools floppy) is not sufficient to boot NetBSD. You need a system
either built for your model Macintosh, or a generic install for any
Macintosh. Some crucial things are missing from the "minimum" installs.
