Jason,

Did you really have to quote everything?  We'd appreciate it if you
could trim the quoted messages down to actually relevant parts.

/usr/share/misc/termcap describes how the console is supposed to work.
If you replace only the kernel, and the console driver happens to be
modified in a way so that it becomes incompatible with the old termcap,
you can lose.  I'm not sure if that's the case here, though.

Not surprisingly.  Ps uses libkvm to get process table out of the kernel
virtual address space.  If your libkvm and kernel are out of synch, ps
will lose.  What you really have to do is update libkvm before updating
ps.

Why not directly download files into NetBSD, or better yet sup?  You
won't have to deal with MacOS and Installer then...

Whatever happened to procps Lawrence Kesteloot wrote?
