new NetBSD user dummy questions - change root password problem

[Supernobby <supernobby%gmx.net@localhost>]

Hello all,
thanks for still maintaining the NetBSD/amiga port. I am happy to use it if 
possible.
I just got NetBSD/amiga installed on my A4000D with Cyberstorm MK2, Merlin, 
X-Surf. Installation did work ok, I could get installation sets via ftp.
But this was not so easy, as the installation guide has not so many details on 
that (like what is login data, path on the server, ...). But I could find 
required info at other places.
Ok, I can boot now NetBSD by selecting the root partition in the early start 
menu of the AMIGA.
In the meantime I managed to get bash installed, which helps a lot.
May I start with the first issue I have now. If it is solved somehow, we can 
go on :-).

1) as suggested, I want to change root password. But this fails with the 
error:

#####################
Couldn't get salt.
Unable to change auth token: error in service module
#####################

Does somebody can help? I can also try to provide more details on that, if 
required.

Thanks in advance!
Andreas
