I'll have to llok at that. (I also have my own live NetBSD CD, but it
doesn't have an installer.)

Maybe look under /var/log for an XFree86 log file and see what it says.

You can purchase NetBSD CD at a variety of places online. at the website,
click "how to get netbsd" and then click on CD-rom.

Or maybe you have a local Unix/open source users group or local NetBSD
user and some one can give you one.

Good luck,
