 After further digging in the NetBSD PR database, I found a couple of
 possibly-related reports:
 
 * install/48860 suggests that "root device: " might be meant as a prompt
 and that responding "?" would elicit something interesting.  Tried that,
 no response.
 
 * install/51503 reports a somewhat different set of symptoms when trying
 to install from a USB stick when there's an OS present on the system's
 main drive.  This says that for completeness I should mention that my
 machines do have live OS X installations on their internal disks.  Just
 before the hangup is reached, I see messages indicating that NetBSD has
 recognized the partitions on the internal disk.
 
 Also, just in case, I tried selecting the "no ACPI, no SMP" option;
 didn't change anything.
