I tried to dosboot the NetBSD 1.6 generic kernel for testing purposes but was
snagged at the login.  My first try was root with no (blank) password, and I
got the message "Login incorrect" and another login prompt.  Then I made various
guesses but was unable to login.  However I was able to dosboot and reach a
command prompt with -s (single-user mode), and was able to mount an
msdos-formatted floppy and copy the dmesg thereto (from /var/run/dmesg.boot).
So was something wrong on the login, or is that how it's supposed to be?
