	Not likely, it looks like it's just not finding your keyboard
and/or mouse. I don't see a mouse attachment in your dmesg so X will not
start. What PowerBook is this, and what version of NetBSD are you trying
to run? If it has a trackpad I don't think it's working in older versions.
Barring that you actually do have a mouse that is being configured
properly, X is probably looking for wsmouse0 or mouse, it probably just
has a different name. You could ln -s to make a sym link to whatever
device name X is looking for or modify the X config (probably a better
idea)
