I tried twice.
From NetBSD I did a "shutdown -r now" in order to
reboot into MacOS, and then launched the booter. 
I booted the NetBSD INSTALL kernel which hung at a prompt
requesting the terminal type after the normal boot messages.

After the first hang, I used the hard reset button on the 
back to reboot into MacOS (8.1) again.  Launched the booter,
and then the install kernel again and got the same results.

I didn't try it again though after a full powerdown.
Maybe I'll try that next.

Roger,

Did you try just once, or try multiple times?  I've seen an occasional 
problem on my system where the ADB seems dead, but rebooting MacOS and 
trying again always seems to unlock things.
