i'm sorry to say that it didn't work with netbsd.GENERIC-7
i got the same error. here is a dump of the screen (manually typed out):
--cut here--

--cut here-- 
that's it. i can't do anything, like type in any letters (that echo back
to the screen). that dialog looked somewhat-sane, but maybe you
more-experienced NetBSD/mac68k users might find something i missed,
overlooked, or just totally didn't know.
(some of those lines wrapped while i typed them out. just make your
mail-reader's window bigger if it's important enough.)
When i pressed the interrupt key, i got the following dialog:
--cut here--
Panic switch: PC is 0x1ecba.
Stopped at      _Debugger+0x6:  unlk    a6
db> 
--cut here--
from there, i can not type anything. nothing happened when i pressed the
interrupt switch again, either. i tried a few kernels that a friend gave
me, but they didn't work, either. i'm stuck. anyone?
any help is greatly appreciated!
