What I did was install base.tgz, etc.tgz and games.tgz
onto my 80 meg quantum hard drive.  Then after I got
the zip drive up and running I moved everything under
/usr to the zipdrive (mv * /mnt/zipdrive/usr).  Then I
unmounted the zip drive and remounted it as /usr,
adding it to /etc/fstab.  

I looked in /usr/share/mk for sys.mk and found
bsd.sys.mk instead.  In fact there are many files such
as this all beginning with bsd.  I created a soft link
from bsd.sys.mk to sys.mk and tried make again.  This
time it brings up cc but doesn't actually do anything
useful.  I'd type in exactly what it does only I'm
reinstalling base.tgz right now.

Are there virtual consoles under the Mac version of
NetBSD?  If so how do you switch between them?

Also where is a good place to find documentation on
NetBSD68k?  I mean other than the simple stuff someone
like me with a Linux background already knows.
