I've installed NetBSD on a computer with 5MB of ram and it does fine until
it gets to 'updating motd...'.  Then it just sits there accessing the hard
drive for hours.  I went to bed and let it do that for 8 hours.  When I
woke up, it was still doing it.

I pulled the drive and put it in a computer with 8MB of ram and it started
up fine.  The kernel says it has 900k free out of the 4096 + 640k the
computer has.

I've installed OpenBSD and NetBSD on macintoshes that have had 200k ram
free and they boot and operate fine.

Is there a way to fix NetBSD to work right?
