We have just completed the installation procedure of NetBSD-0.9 on a 25 mhz 386, 8 megs or ram and a 130 meg ide drive. The installation went quite smoothly. After running configure we followed the next instructions and typed reboot and sat back and watched. The machine went through its automatic reboot and came up with the login prompt. Now the problems: from this prompt we get an error message back saying no such file or directory from anything we feed it. Of course there are no accounts or much of anything else defined on this thing yet. I have sufficient information available to do a lot of the setrting up but how do we get in to perform these tasks. The person I queried about this told us we should be able to type root from here and get things started. I am obviously missing something obvious--any help with what it is would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. -Len
