I do. Without even a screen, because of lack of room... I use a serial
console.

Definitely not, unless you like to use X11 with just 2 bitplanes...

Sure, that's exactly IMHO the role of people who make NetBSD available
on a magazine cover CD. But to me, it's certainly not the role of the
NetBSD project to do so. NetBSD is small, NetBSD is Unix, people who
won't want to learn the three basic commands you need to use vi won't
gain anything from running NetBSD. That's just my opinion again.

Yep, it's either -r or -o ro, but you got the idea ;)
