	Jared's got the good short version. And the full answer is here, in
the Install.html notes:
ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5.2/alpha/INSTALL.html
...It's about 2/3 down the page, titled "Post installation steps"
It should cover other questions too.

Glad to help...

! Generally, the following will do the trick:
! 
! Mount the root filesystem read-write:  mount -u /
! Mount any other local filesystems:     mount -a
! Set the terminal type:                 export TERM=vt100; tset
! Edit /etc/rc.conf:                     vi /etc/rc.conf
! 
! Add 'rc_configured=YES' to this file, save it, and reboot.
! 
! Hope this helps,
! Jared
