  Ok, I can see what's going on.  You need to use the installer to install
all but the netbsd12 file, download GENERICSBC-15 from somewhere (I don't
know where it is atm :/  ), and install it instead of netbsd12.  Then
ensure that only apple hardware is connected to your computer, no
kensington mice or anything like that.  Then it should boot fine for you.

Hope that helps,
