Do you have a full-time Internet connection?

If you have your loadbsd in the s:startup-sequence, then just tack that
onto the end.

-02 WON'T work; that should be an -O2.

Here's my mk.conf:
LOCALBASE=/usr/local
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES=no-commercial-use
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=no-profit
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=shareware
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=fee-based-commercial-use
USE_RSAREF2=YES
USA_RESIDENT=YES
CFLAGS+=-m68060
COPTS+=-O2
COPTFLAGS+=-m68060
APACHE_PERF_TUNING=YES
APACHE_SUEXEC=YES

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think these are what the
options do:
LOCALBASE is easy; that says where the packages get installed by
default. I prefer /usr/local to /usr/pkg.
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES, USE_RSAREF2, and USA_RESIDENT are for stuff like
RSAREF and SSL, but I don't remember specifically what else; it should be
irrelevant since the RSA patents have expired.
CFLAGS implies what default flags should be in any compile; since we have
68060s, that's all I add here (probably exactly the same as M68060=YES)
COPTS implies that these options will be used whenever optimisation is
appropriate, hence the -O2.
COPTFLAGS is for kernel compiling only, according to the mk.conf docs.
The APACHE stuff is somewhat intuitive.

Config? No. Boot kernel on Amiga partition? Yes.
