Thanks for the help. I ended up checking those, and it hadn't written to
them. a few minutes ago i managed to figure out part of what the message
meant. i manually created part of the /dev tree and it fixed the majority
of the problems.

i'm still having problems with it not picking up all the information from
the dhcp server, ie the default gateway, hostname, and dns servers. I have
managed to telnet and ssh into the system.

i'm sure I will run into more problems here, i usually use linux & freebsd
so i'm not as familiar with netbsd's layout.

Here's another question. I attempted to setup swapping to an nfs drive, it
gave me an error message of "swapctl: /swap: Device not configured"

I take this to mean that folders cannot be used to swap to. How can i swap
to a remote system?
