I experienced identical behavior installing NetBSD (v1.5, v1.5.2, 
v1.5.3, v1.6) on a DEC Alpha and a SGI Indy (v1.6) machine. Both 
machines are head-less and were installed from serial console.

However, I seem to remember that installation of v1.5.2 on a i386 box 
did correctly set rc_configured=YES. This box did not use serial console.
