   Thanks, mount -a some fsck -pf's and a few reboots seemed to do the trick. 
Once that worked I started cping in other snapshot files and untaring them 
(with tar --unlink -xvzpf foo.tar.gz). I was amazed at how much faster it 
was under NetBSD! Unless this was just my setup (I don't think so) it 
might save new users some time if this was mentioned in one of the FAQ's 
if it is not already. Thanks to everyone who is working on this great OS! 
I was so glad I had it up and running that I ran tetris and managed to 
pull a score of 6706 on my fisrt try. :-) I'll be back with more questions 
when I get down to the more serious stuff, but right now I'm just having fun.
