I got this advice from Bob Nestor:

And that was the one, which got me working one. Thanks a lot Bob!

Now I can switch between the drives, using the 'cd' command. Since I didn't
know how to switch back from /cdrom I used 'cd root' and that worked, but
very likely that is a very unappropriate way (?).

>2. Don't you do it in single user mode, do you?

Yes. I've a very rudimentary installation on a Syquest 200, because before
going to install NetBSD seriously, I want to try out, to learn and to see,
what will work and what not and mainly: what I'm able to do and what not
:)). It's my guess changing an existing installation isn't that fun (or am =
I
wrong on this?), and so I's prefer to know as much as possible, in a short
time, before starting to convert the content of a 4 GB HFS formatted hd to =
a
NetBSD based server installation. And then, I should also get the ethernet
card working . . .

Btw, trying to change to a multiple user installation might be my next step=
.
Do you know by chance, if there are (not existing) "adduser" command relate=
d
docs online - somewhere. Or should I first install the man package and look
there?

Best regards, Ulrich
