Ryan,

I've seen a problem very similar to this on my system long before I 
starting playing with NetBSD.  The MacOS System was 7.1 and the solution 
was to run Apple's Disk First Aid and repair the disk.  Strangely Disk 
First Aid would never report finding any errors, but the disk was always 
fully functional afterwards.  When I upgraded the MacOS System to 7.5 and 
installed the SCSI disk driver that came with System, the problem went 
away. So you might want to give Disk First Aid a try or try upgading the 
MacOS driver.

BTW, I doubt that NetBSD did anything to destroy your MacOS partitions 
unless you used one of the very early versions of Mkfs (pre 1.2 I think) 
and Installer (1.0?) on a disk that was over 1Gig in size. They did had a 
bug that would over-write MacOS partitions.  Make sure you have used one 
of the later versions - Mkfs 1.45 and Installer 1.1e.
