hi,

by the way, if you want to run your kernel in secure mode
while being able to run X, here is what the faq says:

	When run without 'options INSECURE' NetBSD will disallow direct access to
	/dev/mem. If you use a graphics board which requires, or can benefit from,
	linear memory access you should install the Aperture Driver
	xsrc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/etc/apNetBSD.shar. This will permit the X
	server to directly access the VGA framebuffer even if kernel security level is
	> 0. You should create a new directory, copy apNetBSD.shar into it, then run
	'sh apNetBSD.shar' and read the resultant README.

note that this can be out of date :)
