I also tried the snapshot on an 8500 and the same thing happened to me.
However, I was able to get into the shell (I had to press the caps lock
to get lower case letters) and was able to configure the ethernet card
and then ftp to my other computer.  I'm very happy at the prospect of
finally being able to remove linux from my mac in favor of a *BSD OS.
BTW, how would one install NetBSD without using the install script?
