without configured rc.conf you drop in single user mode
and only your root partition will be mounted.
to use vi you have to mount your /usr partition:
mount /dev/<partition> /usr
then set the TERM env. var.
export TERM=vt220
now it should work.

Subject: Successful Install on 7600 but don't know what to do next


> Hello all,
>   I installed NetBSD-1.4.2 on a 7600/132 and can boot into it from the of
prompt. I have a couple questions through. Do I always have to go through
the of prompt? And it always boots me into single user mode but will not let
me edit the rc.conf file to change it. when I try to edit it wi VI it says
Warning: TERM environment variable not set. I have tried setting it to
vt100, wyse, ansi, and none of them work and I always get that same message.
Can anyone help me?
