=09IFF you did a manual install, the system will not auto-conf your
boot and root devices. You'll have to roll your own kernel to fix this I
believe.

=09Are you using a terminal to connect to your system? If so you need
9600-N-8-1 with Modem control (DTR/DSR handshake?) and smooth scrolling
disabled. I can't speak for non-DEC terminals, but I had the same thing
happen without Modem control on wiht a VT-320

=09Up until recently, crypto wasn't included due to export
restrictions. Now that they have been lifted crypto may be added to the
base system release, making including ssh more logical. Grab the source or
binaries from pkgsrc on the netbsd ftp site.
