Hmmmm...did you boot with extensions off?

It doesn't get to a line that says something like:  NetBSD GENERIC#0
/sys/arch/mac68k/conf/GENERIC.....

or something similar?

I'd recommend downloading 1.3_BETA, actually.  It's got a lot more
functionality (and maybe stability) than 1.2.x.  You can find it on
ftp.netbsd.org.  Definitely try a newer booter, tho (1.11.1b? if you can
find it).

Yes, you're on a console now.  It's just you, the keyboard, and the
screen.  When you get your machine running, you can download a copy of
'dt' which allows you to use the mouse (or you can download X which of
course uses a mouse).

I hope this helps....

Later.
