Grr, please don't uuencode plaintext e-mail.

Also, please move this to port-i386 since this is PC-specific.

The partitions that NetBSD/i386 use are not the same concept that you
see DOS, OS/2, or NT using.  They aren't "extended" or "logical", but
more like "other".  If you want NetBSD to coexist on the same system,
you need to make sure that you set the partition type (using pfdisk)
to 0x65 (as per what INSTALL says).  Also, you need to make sure that
you do not overlap the partitions.

grind$ man adduser

ADDUSER(8)              NetBSD System Manager's Manual              ADDUSER(8)

NAME
     adduser - procedure for adding new users
[...]

Note that this says 'procedure'.

There has been a lot of discussion about adding an actual program to
be this, but it isn't real yet.

I'm not sure what you're referring to here.

eh?

Dunno on this one, sorry.
