Here is the trick on docking PowerBook 140's & 170's:
1st. you have to change the SCSI ID on the internal HD (small jumpers) use  
an ID that is not being used on your NeXT
2nd. hook up the PB to NeXT with appropriate SCSI cables.
3rd. you put the PB in sad mac mode by booting and then engaging the  
programers switch (the little hole in the back) I use a paper clip.
4th. boot the NeXT. Your PowerBook HD should show right up.
