Being a newbie as you say, get a binary distribution.  Go to:

	ftp://releng.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/

pick up the latest one that has binaries for mac68k (preferably from the
2.0 branch) and use it.  You could also get a 1.6.2 build from the standard
ftp server... but my suggestion is that you go for 2.0_BETA.

Read the documentation.  Specially the INSTALL.* documents in the binary
distribution and all the FAQs in the website; links here (right side):
