when I was using System 7.0 (or was is 7.0.1), I always had to
boot with extensions disabled (hold down the shift key while
booting) to get netbsd to boot. I got to the same point as you.
I really tried too. I made a totally stripped down system 7 with
all extensions that weren't absolutely requried removed and it never
worked. So I'd just boot with the shift key down.
I now have system 7.5.3 and this is no longer the case.
