It shouldn't reboot to a blank black screen, though there have been
occasional problems with strange, intermittent problems with rebooting.

You will have to reboot through MacOS regardless of what you do. You can,
however, make the booter be run on boot so that the machine will go into
NetBSD without your intervention.
