Please post some information about how you got NetBSD to run in QEMU,
including your version of QEMU, your QEMU command line, etc. Does your
NetBSD client have network access? Does it need to be able to boot Mac
OS 7.5.5?

I've used QEMU to create reference GNU/Linux root filesystems (Debian
SID and Gentoo) for m68k ("-M q800" and "-M virt"), but I've never
installed NetBSD in QEMU.

thanks for any information
