Hey Marcus,
you'll need to create /usr/pkg and /usr/pkgsrc then checkout the pkgsrc
tree from a CVS server of your choice.
Best thing is to follow this document:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/pkgsrc/users-guide.html
Depending on what CPU(s) you have in your SS20 it's also worthwhile creating
/etc/mk.conf with some optimisation instructions for when you're compiling.
I've got a couple of Ross 150MHz CPUs in mine and my /etc/mk.conf is as
follows:
CPUFLAGS=-mcpu=hypersparc
COPTS+=-pipe
BUILDFLAGS+=-j3
ACCEPTABLE_LICENSES+=no-commercial-use
ALLOW_VULNERABLE_PACKAGES=yes
Hope some of that helps...
Gary
