There's your problem.  This particular machine is currently unsupported by
NetBSD.  It won't even run on serial console due to some undocumented
chips which completely handle serial port and ADB I/O on this machine.

BTW, if you'll take a look at the NetBSD/mac68k 1.2 page, you'll notice a
list of the supported machines and the IIfx is not on this list.

Anyway, all is not completely lost.  Allen Briggs is in the process of
trying to get this machine up and running.  Don't hold your breath, tho,
since he has to deal with Apple developer relations before he can procede.
If we're lucky, something may happen in the next year.

I hope this explains things a bit.

Later.
