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.  :)


>    7. How do I mount a amiga partition?

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
