What exactly is a BC vs. non-BC version of the -current kernel?

All of the above looks pretty vanilla to me...it "should" work just fine.

The Farallon card should be fine, whether or not the MIDI card will cause
trouble may be another story entirely, but the boot hasn't really gotten
far enough for that to matter anyway.

Check the FAQ for a list of things to do to make sure that NetBSD will
boot:

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/

However, probably the most important of the things listed there at the
moment is turning off extensions before booting.  Do you have _any_
extensions enabled?  If so, I'd suggest booting your Mac with the shift
key held down to disable them all.

I hope this helps some.

Later.
