+
+For the NetBSD 5.0+ HAL backend to function properly, your kernel needs
+to include /dev/drvctl support. If the /dev/drvctl device node does not
+exist, run the following command:
+
+  # cd /dev
+  # sh MAKEDEV drvctl
+
+For proper kernel support, the following directive must be in your kernel
+config:
+
+  pseudo-device drvct
