Trying to install?



Hey.

Have installed NetBSD 9.2 a few times in a VM without a problem. Pkgin is so nice. Installation is so quick and smooth.

Tried today to install on real hardware.
Then i ran into issues, when running the installer from a USB stick

Where it hangs ...

Then instead i tried to drop to boot prompt and ran the `boot -c` to be able  to disable possibly graphics card detection (i read that somewhere).
came to UC>
Where it hang ...

Question one, is there some way around this. can i from the boot prompt tell it to ignore graphics cards. Plan was to not use X anyway. Need more info, let me know.

Question two, assuming i get further, is there some guide to create a local pkgsrc mirror and tell several machines in your network to sync to that instead of a internet mirror(feels unnecessary to sync over internet if you have 5+ machines)?

thanks in advance
