Thank you Matthias, your instruction did the trick, the system starts fi=
ne  =

now. Yes I wasn't aware that cornfiguration variables exist separately  =

 from the scripts. Somehow I assumed that the statements in /etc/rc.conf=
  =

would simply enable / disable execution of the respective scripts in  =

/etc/rc.d. Sorry, I don't know nor understand that scripting language.

Question: Would you please recommend some further reading (beyond Ch.6 o=

the NetBSD Guide)?
