okay, i managed to get the qube to boot netbsd 1.5.2 off it's hard disk!
i didnt do a very good job with the disklabel program, and as such my root
is wd0c and not wd0a as i need (so that it will automatically boot without
my intervention).
can i change wd0c to wd0a easily? and what should my /usr be labeled as?

if someone could give me step by step instructions on how to get my system
finished off that would be appreciated
thanks
