Chris,

       Many thanks for the assistance. NetBSD 20030904 snapshot is up 
and running now!
       I´m still having some problems with the console. Is it possible 
to get rid of the small window and to work with a full screen? Every 
time I type ^C ou Esc, the system halts jumping to PROM or rebooting...
