Sounds good so far...

Hmmmm...it would help us a little if we knew _exactly_ where it freezes.
Does it make it to the copyright section?  Does it stall in the video
mapping section?

Leave the mini-root alone for now (it might be used more in the future for
the installation process).  Everything else looks fine.  What version of
the Booter are you using?  You might consider grabbing a copy of the
latest version and seeing if it helps (although it shouldn't make a
difference if you get this far...)

Have you tried booting with all extensions disabled?  Did you boot in B&W
mode?  There is a list of things like these to try in the FAQ.  Please
check it out:

or

I believe there is a question like:  "NetBSD won't boot my machine, what
do I do?"

Hopefully, with a little more info, we'll be able to figure this one
out...

Later.
