check out the netbsd home page, under docs
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/
and dig thru those, there is no easy short cut, but there is a whole
bunch of info there.
As far as the ISO, I did not get the server tar file as part of the iso.
I had to go back and get thet....so you might have to do the sema.
If you go thru the mail archives, use the NetBSD home page or google,
and look for netbsd xf86config, you might be surprised!
I hope this helps.
