The Booter may be having trouble figuring out where the NetBSD
partition is. Can you boot from a Mac OS file? (Use the gzipped
GENERIC.gz file, not the tarred kern.tgz.) If so, it means the file
system is fine; then you might use 'dd if=/dev/sd0a count=1 bs=16k |
strings' to figure out the "name" of the NetBSD root partition to fill
into the Booter's settings.
