Thanks. I found out the problem is the Ethernet card. When I took it out,
the machine started booting NetBSD!

I learned that if the kernel hangs silently just after the clock
start message (macos boot time ... PRAM time...), then you probably
forgot to build devices. ;-)

So with Booter 1.8, that machine's up!
