Hello,
I have been a FreeBSD user for many years, but my first try with
NetBSD gives me some issues. I have an old SPARCstation 20 and tried
to install 3.0 on it. Here are the things I noticed that was not
working correctly:
1- The install script asked me if I wanted to configure the network,
which I did, but it did not get configured.
2- I have no cursor! Pretty hard to configure stuff with vi like
that. (I read somewhere that I would have to install the kernel
sources and recompile. Makes senss, but see next problem)
3- sushi core dumps each time I want to configure things with it, or
try to install a new package or the kernel sources.
I am a bit lost, but I really want to learn.
Thanks.
