Hello list,

I 'm just posting to share my (first NetBSD) experience. It installed 
fast and easily on an SGI Indy but I experience the exact same problem 
on the console. Is a solution found? I ought to say though that on the 
same machine Debian linux runs without any such problems.

Hope that helps,
Dimitris
