Basically yes. Of course you will want to read /etc/defaults/rc.conf for 
defaults and what you might easily change (in /etc/rc.conf of course).
For the 'vi not found' thing - vi normally resides in /usr/bin/vi , and that 
means that it's on /usr, which by default lands on an own partition by 
sysinst. So this means, after you've stumbled into single user, make an 
(optional) fsck / and /usr, mount -a (that mounts everything that stands in 
your /etc/fstab, including /usr of course) and then you can happily edit 
rc.conf. Once you have done this your netbsd (yay! ;) machine will boot 
happily. Enjoy,
