I have just installed NetBSD on my hard drive and it seems to be co-
existing with my dos partition just fine! The only problem is that I have NO
idea what to do next! I know what I need to do, but as there seems to be
no manual that I can see besides the installation docs, I'm stuck. Here
are just a few of the things that come to mind that I need help on...
I can not backspace or delete in any way with [pc3] as my default term.
How do I set up the serial ports? How do I use my modem and dial out. How
do I recieve Zmodem? Is there a way to make a huge file that just gets bigger
until there is no romm left on the file system? I have reason to believe
that BSD isn't going to stop 30 megs before the end of my drive, where the
msdos partition starts. It tells me to log on as SU, but SU has a password,
and I don't know it! I'm not on a network, so how do I disable sendmail
so that it doesn't puke at boot time? Is there any sort of book or document
that I can get telling me how to set up my system so that it is fully
functional? Thanx for any help that you all can give me!
BTW: I'm still buying BSD/386, this is just temporary. I won't be able
to run X under NetBSD because of my video card.
