Hi! Based on the answers received to my queries and on the docs
referenced, the following conclusions appear correct concerning netbsd
on i386:

1. netbsd does not (yet) support the framebuffer device

2. netbsd wscons does not (yet) support a higher text console resolution
   than 80Cx50L

3. netbsd wscons does not (yet) support pc-like function key mapping
   required for correct use of the netbsd package midnight commander

Please correct this if it is mistaken. Thanks.

Cheers!

Lucien
