The command line editing is a feature of the shell. You can get BASH for
NetBSD through using the package tools.

The NetBSD guide has a chapter on it.

Not sure about the libraries, tho.

Also, I have an interest in minimal unix machines. I wrote a small document
(mostly for my own purposes) but you are welcome to look it over.

It is at
