How is this 7 Mb configured? I guess that it isn't all 32-bit ram but 
devided in chunks.

Say 1mb chip 2mb 32bit and 4mb 16bit

If you don't have at least 4Mb of 32-bit ram free, then it takes a 
loooooooong time to load.

I switched from 4 to 16mb recently and X starts in 3 seconds!!! (as opposed 
to about 30 seconds)

I noticed (in the installing instructions) that some links should be made
in the form:

     ln -s /usr/local/X11R6/lib /usr/lib/X11
     ln -s /usr/local/X11R6/bin /usr/bin/X11
     ln -s /usr/local/X11R6/include /usr/include/X11

are these links correct? (The instructions say to make sure that
/usr/lib/X11 have certain files which I don't see when I ls /usr/lib/X11).

yep!

normally you link a R distribution to X11 say X11R5 ->X11

upgrading to R6 is then a matter of changing the link.

One last general question:  How do I get my /local partition to be
recognized by NetBSD?  It mounts /root and /usr, but I have a 200MB /local
partition on my 530MB Fujitsu that I would like it to take advantage of!

The 4 byte identifier is probably wrong!  All user partitions must have this 
identifier.
