This is explained in the included "readme.linux", it should work the
same for NetBSD. You shouldn't need to be root (or setuid) if you just
use the X renderer.

That's strange. It works fine for me. You shouldn't even have to
create the directory, quake2 will do that automatically, below the
base directory (specified in /emul/linux/etc/quake2.conf).

In what way exactly does it go wrong?

Mason> messages, but I can't seem to either name the game I'm saving

You can't give it a name. A name is created automatically from the
level and playing time.

FWIW, I've included the output of "ls -lR baseq2/save" on my machine
below.
