Okay. It works now. All the experiments I tried today, I inadvertantly
tried with virtual memory turned on. Apparently MacOS 7.6 does that when
you re-install it.
In summary, it appears that NetBSD won't boot on my mac if either:
1. I install a minimal MacOS 7.6
2. I have virtual memory turned on. (duh)
Thanks to everybody for their help. Is there any debugging I can do to
help people make this work with a minimal system install?
