It sounds like somehow the NetBSD box is seeing a break condition on the
serial port when you reboot your PowerMac.  Since the IIci has a
programmer's switch on the front which can be used to drop the kernel into
me debugger, I suggest you compile a new kernel with the ZS_CONSOLE_ABORT
option removed or commented out, and give that a try.

Hope this helps,
