 Okay... I cranked up a Macintosh IIvx (8 MB RAM):
 
 - partitioned A/UX root&usr / A/UX swap / Macintosh HFS
 - got the latest Mkfs 1.47 and Installer 1.1h from a NetBSD 4rc5 
 snapshot of today
 - ran Mkfs on the root&usr partition
 - ran the Installer with netbsd_GENERICSBC.tgz, base.tgz and etc.tgz (70 min)
 - made the devices in the Installer
 - booted to single user, ran 'fsck -fp /dev/rsd0a' to be sure
 - After 'mount -uw /' and editing /etc/rc.conf the box booted to 
 multi user mode just fine
 - Because the Installer's list of device files is a bit outdated, you 
 should run MAKEDEV all in /dev
 
 So... generally, setting up a NetBSD/mac68k machine with the MacOS 
 based tools works. Please follow Scott's advice, and boot the 
 Powerbook without the SCSI-Ethernet-bridge. There may be SCSI 
 interference.
 
 BTW: Have you tried booting with the GENERICSBC kernel?
