I did my NetBSD install per the manual (chapters 3 & 4) but my install 
appears to not exactly align with the steps provided.  I could not get 
access to packages via FTP (I assume because I'm using DSL and I read 
that PPPoE is not supported at install).  My machine now boots into 
what appears to be single user mode.  I was never given the option to 
configure time zones (my options during setup for timezones were blank, 
just the exit option), no prompting for root password selection, etc.

This is a NetBSD 2.0 install on a Intel P4 box.  I'd like to get the 
install to the point that I can get a Desktop like KDE or Gnome up-and-
running as well as access the internet.  I'm hoping someone will either 
point me to the documentation I've missed or am unaware of, or provide 
a simple how-to for getting to these next steps.

Thanks.
