No, you CANNOT issue a "reboot" or "shutdown -r" and get back into NetBSD
without going through MacOS. When the machine is told to reboot, it will
reboot into MacOS. You can then get it back into NetBSD. I'd suggest that
you do 1 of 2 things, since you don't seem to have need for the MacOS side:
1) Get the booter extension that someone made awhile back.
2) Put the booter in your startup items folder, and set it to autoboot.
With either of those setups, you should be able to do a reboot & be back
into NetBSD.
Hope this helps,
Mike
