To which accomplishment are you referring?  

I'll tell you basically what I did...

1.	install NetBSD 1.5 on dec3000/500 via serial console from cd
2.	make the TCWSCONS kernel (see manual for kernel compilation instructions)
3.	compile cvs x11 source or (easier) find Xserver binary someone posted
4.	type 'startx' as root user...  This seems to work even w/o an 
XF86Config file which baffles me, but it works.  

Now I'm experimenting with the excelent pkgsrc system and linux/digital 
emulation.

Good luck and feel free to email me specific questions if you get stuck.
