Read the manual for iteconfig ('man iteconfig').

Try to use NetBSD package system. Read manual for pkg_add and similar
commands. Try to fetch recompiled packages from NetBSD FTP server.

If you don't have a gfx card - YES. :)

First, find out how NetBSD sees Amiga partitions. Use
disklabel <disk>
to find partitions marked as ADOS.
Then, mount the partition using
mount -t ados -o ro /dev/<disk> <mount_point>
e.g.
mount -t ados -o ro /dev/sd0e /mnt
