None of those worked. The only one that both NetBSD would recognize
and would work on my terminal is "vt52".

I followed those instructions. I even verified that I'm using the
patched kernel from
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/prep/snapshot/release-2-0_20050119/installation/floppy/,
by adding a "patched" folder to the /prep/installation/ folder of the
ISO, adding the images there, and burning a new CD. Unfrotunately,
when I tried installing from that CD, I noticed that a couple of the
packages were not able to be read, so what I ended up doing is setting
up the drive with my second CD, rebooting, then installing with my
first CD.

I still have the problem of the kernel panicking with "lockmgr: no context".

Here's a log of what I'm doing (I'm writing this out manually, so ugh!):

Do you want to change our idea of what BIOS thinks? [n]

Partition 1:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 1 is:
<UNUSED>
sysid: [0..255 default: 169]

size: [0..1105cyl default: 17758095, 1105cyl, 8671MB]

We haven't written the MBR back to disk yet. This is your last chance.
Partition table:

At this point, I turn off the computer and wait for more help.  ;)
I'm sure you'll probably not like me setting up the partitions the way
I did; is that what's causing this?
