That should be fine.  Copy the MAKEDEV script from a NetBSD/evbppc
distribution tarball (or from a build), and run that to create the
devices.  I don't think you need to host on NetBSD.

You don't want to use the i386 or amd64/x86_64 devices for evbppc.  Some
or many of the devices will be different.

I'd look a little more at the wireshark trace to see what's going on
there.  If init is crashing, you should see something like "panic: init
died".
