hang during mouse detect?

So, I recently got a PowerBook 165.  Of course, I went to put NetBSD on
it.

For the first stab, I used the same installation I used on my IIci.  I
copied it to an external HFS drive and moved that to the PowerBook (for
some reason, SCSI disk mode on the PowerBook doesn't seem to work
reliably when connected to the IIci, though it seemed to be fine when
connected to a SPARCstation-10).

I got the drive partitioned, with a 60M HFS partition and the rest
split up into root and swap.  I used the installer - the same one I
used on my IIci - to make filesystems, unpack the sets, and make
devices.

Then I told it to reboot and it went catatonic on me.

So I told the booter to use serial console, and...it still goes
catatonic, though slightly more informatively:

System RAM: 12582912 bytes in 3072 pages.
     Low = 0x0, high = 0xc00000
Checking for Internal Video get_mapping(): PB/IIvx (0x60?00000).  False start.

No - or at least not until multiple seconds into the hang.

I'll try again, making certain to not touch anything once the booter
starts its countdown.

I was hoping to avoid that.  But I now have tried a 1.4T GENERIC
kernel, and it uses different device names but hangs at the analogous
point:

fpu0 at mainbus0 (emulator)
adb0 (direct, PowerBook): 2 targets
aed0 at adb0 addr 0: ADB Event device
akbd0 at adb0 addr 2: PowerBook keyboard
wskbd0 at akbd0
ams0 at adb0 addr 3: 

so I guess I'll shelve it until I collect the round tuits to try a 1.6
kernel and see what it does.

I do find it slightly suspicious that adb0 says "2 targets" and then
tries to find devices at three different "addr"s, but that could be
