I have some experience in running and maintaining FreeBSD, but some issues 
puzzle me in NetBSD:

- how to get the console to scroll? Activating Scroll-Lock "freezes" the 
screen (nothing is output), but PgUp, PgDown and arrow keys do nothing.

- how to switch virtual consoles? (maybe I need to activate them first?)

- Even when accessing via ssh (putty), i still have console issues 
(TERM=linux often does funny things, and with TERM=vt100 most of the keys 
and functions (color, although not in all applications) work, except the 
"function" keys (F1..F12).

- I ran bonnie++ on a partition with soft-updates and got 730 files/sec 
create score. This is abysmally small compared to FreeBSD 4.9 (almost 17000 
files/sec). Is that normal? (is this related to FreeBSD's dirhash?) Some 
other scores are also funny: Almost 43MB/s *putc()* output, which is almost 
the same number as sequential *block* output (about 49MB/s, which is normal 
for the machine) while in FreeBSD I get 136 *KB/s* for it. Does NetBSD have 
some extra-ordinary putc() optimisation? Maybe some buffering?
