Okay.  It works now.  All the experiments I tried today, I inadvertantly
tried with virtual memory turned on.  Apparently MacOS 7.6 does that when
you re-install it.

In summary, it appears that NetBSD won't boot on my mac if either:

1. I install a minimal MacOS 7.6

2. I have virtual memory turned on. (duh)

Thanks to everybody for their help.  Is there any debugging I can do to
help people make this work with a minimal system install?
