I don't remember where I read it, but I *vaguely* recall reading that
pressing the shift key first will allow you to use the keyboard.  This
might have been w/ a different system and not the Pismo, though...

The NetBSD partition(s) can be on the same disk as HFS partitions, but
but then you won't be able to use sysinst to do the installation.
You'll have to install manually instead.  Not a big deal if you're
familiar w/ NetBSD however.

Briefly, you'll need to partition you disk w/ both HFS partitions and
NetBSD (Apple_UNIX_SVR2) partitions using a 3rd party utility (eg,
Apple Drive Setup, FWB or pdisk), boot the install kernel, exit to a
shell once booted, "newfs" the unix partitions (use "disklabel" to
determine the partition names), mount the partions, mount the cd/nfs
server or ftp the installation sets (for nfs/ftp, you'll have to
ifconfig your network interface first), untar the sets on the new
filesystem(s), run MAKEDEV in the new /dev dir, and finally create a
new /etc/fstab listing your filesystems (type carefully w/ "cat" :)
and/or use "sed" with /etc/fstab.sd and/or "chroot" to the new
filesystem root and use vi).  Cake... :)

There's a website with instructions (search the archives); else email
for further details.
