Hi Chris,

You are going to get flooded with "read the FAQ" messages, so here is one
more. The answer to all your questions and more can be found in the
MacBSD FAQ, located at:

  http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/faq/

But, while I'm here ...

You can use the Installer utility, go to the mini-shell, and use 'cpin' to
copy the files into your NetBSD partition.  Another way to go about it is to
get hfsutils. This set of utilities allows you to access your MacOS partition
from inside NetBSD.  For more information, see;

The FAQ has pointers to two different PPP kits. I have also put together a 
step by step HOW-TO on connecting to an ISP with a dial-up PPP connection.
See my .sig for the URL of my NetBSD web site.

Again, clearly spelled out in the FAQ, but you make a symlink from 
/etc/localtime to the appropriate file in /usr/share/zoneinfo/* 

Have fun with it,

Mark
