Which faq is this?  If it's the one on www.macbsd.com, please let me know 
and I'll fix the references or make things a little more clear.

Questions about netbsd in general should be sent to netbsd-help, 
netbsd-users, or perhaps netbsd-current (if your question pertains 
specifically to the -current state of NetBSD).

If you haven't found it yet, the MacBSD faq is located at:

http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/

Although it's a wee bit out of date at the moment, I'll hopefully have it 
up and ready by January at the latest (school can a bit of an annoyance 
at times ;-)

Later.
