Hello
Of curiosity I tryed to install NetBSD into a Microsoft Virtual Server. It
is a kind of Microsoft VmWare like solution, you can get acess to the
emulated system through Internet Explorer. Everything like color
installer, switch to virtual consoles, X server works as expected. It has
alos a nice full screen mode you really mnake you thing you're into
NetBSD.
Here is a screenshot and the over traditional dmesg.
