NetBSD 4.0_BETA2 (GENERIC) #0: Fri Aug 3 17:22:20 PDT 2007

Welcome to NetBSD!

This system is running a beta release of the NetBSD operating system, aimed
at stabilizing the next formal release.  It is close to formal release qual=
ity,
but may still contain bugs, even serious ones.  Please bear this in mind an=
d
use the system with care.

You are encouraged to test this version as thoroughly as possible.  Should =
you
encounter any problem, please report it back to the development team using =
the
send-pr(1) utility (requires a working MTA).  If yours is not properly set =
up,
use the web interface at: http://www.netbsd.org/support/send-pr.html

Thank you for helping us test and improve this beta NetBSD release.
