Ah... Right.  Serial boot echo used to echo from the beginning...

Umm..  If you're booting single-user, the filesystems have not been
mounted read/write yet.  If you're boot multi-user, then you need to
make sure the /etc/fstab reflects reality.

There are only minor differences between the two, but it's usually a
good idea to install a release version of any software if you don't
plan to be continually following the bleeding edge.  This is especially
true of NetBSD where a snapshot may be taken at any time and it might be
virtually impossible to resurrect all the proper source files if you
run into a problem months later--for released versions, it's easy.

It should.  I've never tried to compile or run it on either, but I've
only had minor problems with some software in porting to NetBSD/mac68k.

:-)  That much text is usually what .plans are for...  ;-)
