I managed to get the base install (kernel-GENERIC.tgz, base.tgz & etc.tgz) 
installed finally. But when I set password for root and try to relogin, my 
password failed!!! *panic*

Before that, when I tried to restart to wince so that I can add in new 
packages, I could not. Typing #reboot simply restart netbsd (which is very 
nice!) and #shutdown now also basically does the same thing. I cannot seem 
to restart back to wince, short of doing a soft reset.

When I do a soft reset, it seem to corrupt the ffs partition badly and now I 
must reinstall. Is there a safe stage or mode where I can do a soft reset 
without messing up the fss partn?

Thanks!
