I installed following the directions I got off the site.
Alot of complicated formatting, and a long install process, everything seemed to be going right. I was going through the first list of stuff you have to type, i really don't know what it as doing, thats just what the directions told me to do.... http://www.NetBSD.org/Ports/mac68k/theobald/ <-- the ones i used bu the way
Now I don't remember if i shut it down or what exactly but now when I start up that machine i get the terminal and I see
"NO: not found" over and over again, and the thing keeps going doing whatever it is BSD does, with that all over the place, adn it never seems to 'be done'...
Something got messed up, and i don't have even a slight idea of what where or when, or how to fix.

Do you?

OK i started all over again, 6 more hours of installing... went through everything again. Now every time I try to open something, it tells me I have a read-only file system. The problems started when I wend into the vi editor thing, and you are supposed to change a value = NO to value = YES, but when you type yes, it just pushes no over, and there's no way to delete it, the delete and backspace buttons don't do it, and the directions imply that escape will do it, which it doesn't. So that file got all messed up i'm sure. Now I can't do anything. This is pissing me off ALOT. Can someone help me get this thing working? Has anybody out there ever even got this thing working? Is there a room full of ****ing nerds with pencils up thier asses laughing at me right now??? This thing sucks!!
