What do the boot messages say? (Send a copy of 'dmesg'). It's
possible that your trackball is getting detected as something
other than a Logitech Trackman. Since your trackball is one of
the "busted" Logitech variety, the routines might not be
detecting it properly. If you get a chance, use the MacOS program
ADBProbe to look at the ADB registers in the trackball. Send the
the results both with and without extenstions enabled.

If you can use three buttons in MacOS, it's just a matter of
adding support for it to the kernel for NetBSD.

Thanks.
