Hey.

Have installed NetBSD 9.2 a few times in a VM without a problem. Pkgin 
is so nice. Installation is so quick and smooth.

Tried today to install on real hardware.
Then i ran into issues, when running the installer from a USB stick

Where it hangs ...

Then instead i tried to drop to boot prompt and ran the `boot -c` to be 
able   to disable possibly graphics card detection (i read that somewhere).
came to UC>
Where it hang ...

Question one, is there some way around this. can i from the boot prompt 
tell it to ignore graphics cards. Plan was to not use X anyway. Need 
more info, let me know.

Question two, assuming i get further, is there some guide to create a 
local pkgsrc mirror and tell several machines in your network to sync to 
that instead of a internet mirror(feels unnecessary to sync over 
internet if you have 5+ machines)?

thanks in advance
