 Ah!  (But for the record, the keyboard does seem to work --- at least,
 it works during the initial dialog where you can disable ACPI.)

 Seems pretty unstable :-(.  I tried several recent-date img's:
 
 NetBSD-7.99.46-amd64-install.img from 201612120920Z:
 hangs up after
 	ugen0 at uhub1 port 3
 	ugen0: Apple Inc. Bluetooth USB Host Controller, rev 2.00/1.27, addr 5
 does not shut down in response to power button, unlike 7.0.2
 
 NetBSD-7.99.47-amd64-install.img from 201612140120Z:
 hangs up after
 	hdaudio1 at pci0 ... HD Audio Controller
 	hdaudio1: interrupting at ioapic0 pin 22
 	hdafg1 at hdaudio1: vendor 1013 product 4208
 does not shut down in response to power button
 
 NetBSD-7.99.47-amd64-install.img from 201612140600Z:
 same behavior as 201612120920Z
 
 On the plus side, it does seem to have successfully detected the USB
 stick, as I see lines a little further up reporting the stick and
 complaining that its physical size doesn't match what the header says,
 which I assume is expected.

 I'd be happy to supply boot logs if you can explain how to get them
 off the machine ...
