If you want to play it that way:
PEBCAK.
It works for lots of people. Several people have offered to help, but
you've offered NONE, ZILCH, NADA, NO required information. And exactly
*there* is where support ends.
NetBSD installs just fine. You decided to screw it up, by editing files
without having even the slightest bit of clue. So it broke. Tough luck.
I even tried to be helpful on you. What a waste of time.

Yes. Just in case you hadn't realised it: This is called *NET*bsd. Which
doesn't make security any less of an issue - and certainly not a *NON*issue.

What discussions?

And rightly so. Why assume that "authors@univ" (whatever that may be) will
change the license to the "file system soft" (whatever that may be) ?

Sorry, you lost me there. Maybe -just maybe- you might consider being less
cryptic about what you are trying to say. I can't make heads nor tails about
your point - even while I am Dutch, so I *should* be able to understand
Dunglish.

Dude, can I have something of what you're smoking? It appears to be quite
strong.
