Of course ;-)  Take a look at either:

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

or 

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/faq/

(or any of the NetBSD mirror sites as well).

Similarly:

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

or 

http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/meta-faq/

yeesh...you're just asking for flames, aren't you? ;-)  The vi editor is
the only editor that you're pretty much guaranteed to find on any
Unix-like system in the world, so it's a pretty good idea to know how to
use it.  Besides, it's small, fast, and extremely useful.

Have you read the INSTALL document?  It will tell you that you need to set
the variable rc_configured=YES to enable a multi-user boot (this line
should be towards the top of rc.conf).

I'm sure someone has compiled bash, but unless you want to install the
package system (which I'd recommend even tho I haven't yet), you should
check out the NetBSD-Amiga archives, a mirror of which can be found on
ftp.netbsd.org.  Just about all NetBSD/amiga (and sun3 and hp300 and
atari) binaries should be compatible with NetBSD/mac68k (that's part of
the cross-platform beauty of NetBSD :-)

I hope this helps some.

Later.
