This is only going to be useful if you can compile your own kernels.
Which, if you can do, then you can just use 'vi' :-) What you probably
need to do is download a copy of a recent -current kernel which had the
option disabled in its kernel config file. I believe that there are some
on ftp.netbsd.org (check the README to see which ones are which), and
there is also the latest HWDIRECT kernel on ftp.macbsd.com. Once you have
your system up and running and can compile your own kernels, then you can
use 'vi' (or install some other editor) and edit:
/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/conf/GENERIC
or copy that file to some other name and edit then.
Anyway, I hope this helps some.
Later.
