 mount -t ados -o ro /dev/sdxy /mnt

 Whereas sdxy is your AmigaDOS partition. See "disklabel" for more.

 Note: AmigaDOS can only be mounted read-only.

 Use "bffs", as availble on the net (i.e. Aminet)

 Hu? vt100 offers user interfaces, but nothing with graphic.

 You might want to install X in order to have anything with graphical
interfaces, yes, sure. You then start any X client (i.e. your desired
editor) locally on your very own local X station / NetBSD machine.

 You might want to install KDE or GNOME for that purpose, proceed to the
NetBSD package system below.

 You might want to look at http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/software/
for the NetBSD package system. This installs NetBSD binaries for the vermy
most of available "Linux" or "FreeBSD" software. Means: You are simply
compiling sources and then install native NetBSD binaries (or download the
pre-compiled software instead).

 It is not possible to simply copy FreeBSD programms to your NetBSD/Amiga,
because FreeBSD is Intel-oriented. It might be possible to start
Linux/Amiga programms on NetBSD/Amiga. It is not possible to start
Linux/i386 on NetBSD/Amiga.

 It is way easier to compile the software rather than to start any kind of
emulator.

 If you are able to, install more RAM...

 At next please read the NetBSD Online Documentation about Books and other
resources about Unix and BSD in particular. Along with the NetBSD FAQ...
