There's some good news and some bad news.  The good news is that NetBSD
1.2.1 had absolutely no support for '040-based Mac's, so this is why
you're having trouble booting.  The bad news (well, other than the fact
that you may have wasted a good deal of time downloading 1.2.1) is that
even 1.3_ALPHA doesn't support 'LC040's very well.  You should be able to
boot your machine and run some programs, but there is currently a bug in
the 'LC040 floating point emulation code which will probably cause many
programs to segfault or give illegal instruction errors.  I think that
some people may have started working on this again, tho.  You can try and
download a 1.3_ALPHA kernel and see if it will at least boot your machine
before giving up, tho.

I hope this helps some, and if you have any more questions, feel free to
ask us.

Later.
