configure is a command set up by the install scripts so if you reboot RiscBSD
between running those and running configure then the command goes away. The
most important thing you will be missing are some device files. To fix this cd
to /dev and do a ./MAKEDEV

This probably means your path does not contain the current directory. Check
what your path is by typing printenv

This is normal(ish). Two things to check are that you have a copy of the kernel
you are booting off installed as /netbsd and that your swap device is
configured correctly.
