Because there is no support in NetBSD/mac68k for switching key maps, yet.
Those who bother lack the knowledge to change this, and those who know
don't bother and use dt or X11 instead. This is a volunteer effort, after
all, and people decide for themselves what to work on.

Huh? Interesting. I tend to avoid 'vi' like the plague, so others may tell
you whether this is normal (in the context of 'vi' ;).

This should have been safe.  =8/

reboot(8) crashing the machine is a bug. Please collect available data
(including the stack trace that you get from a 't <return>' at the debugger
prompt) and file a bug report with send-pr.
