Ditto, except that the most recent versions (which like to use a lock on 
the sd's, I believe), don't seem to like modern kernels (I'm using the 
older of the two color video test kernels)

Ironically, xhfs works fine for me (between two unix volumes, or a 
macintosh 1.44 floppy image), just won't open hfs partitions.. however 
the X part of it works great.. no special compiling flags.. but I *seem* 
to recall I had to rather extensively tell it where /usr/X11R6/lib, etc.. 
were.. (I could be wrong.. have been compiling a lot of stuff recently)

If you're really just starting out.. a great place to start is:

ftp://ftp.uni-regensburg.de/pub/NetBSD-Amiga/contrib/  (I think).. whoever
pointed this site out to me.. thanks!  The amiga files are 
binary-compatible (the programs run fine..) and installation of packages 
from this archive couldn't be easier:

cd /
tar zxvpf foobar-216.tar.gz
sh /usr/local/foobar-216/install/install.sh

and all of the libs, includes, binaries, and man pages get installed for you!

Happy BSDing!
