Read the FAQ at http://www.macbsd.com/macbsd/macbsd-docs/ or
http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/mac68k/faq/ (these are from top of my

You can get the pkg'ed perl.  Get the file at:

ftp://ftp.NetBSD.ORG/pub/NetBSD/packages/1.3.1/m68k/All/perl-5.00404.tgz

and install it with pkg_add command.

Mac is soft-powered, it will shut itself down.  If not, you'll be
prompted with a message saying "you can safely turn the power off now"
to the effect.  Follow the message.

Never mind.  That thin strip is the area console isn't using.  This
area is used by the X server.
