In all fairness I must say that I too had difficulties for a while 
installing and running NetBSD.  However, thanks to all the great people 
on this list I was able to discover the problems (which incedentally 
ended up being my own fault) and correct them.

Because of the reliability of the help that I received on this list, I 
now have a 100% functional (or at least I think so...I'm no Un*x guru) 
system including X.  I have not expereinced a single problem described 
above, and this is on a Quadra 610, currently running the Madhatter#35 
kernel.

I am sorry to see that you were not able to get it up and running, as it 
is so far, the easiest system that I have tried, including PC Linux 
(which I am still struggling with at work after 2 weeks).
