I'm pretty sure that this one is in the FAQ (take a look at it on
www.macbsd.com or www.netbsd.org).  However, the answer is most likely
that you need to install /sbin/init.  Do an 'ls /sbin/init' in the
minishell of the Installer to see if it's there or not.  If not, try
reinstalling the base distribution.

I hope this helps.

Later.
