Hi guys,

ok, first of all, I gotta say: that's a really nice, smooth installation
process.  Even all the Athena stuff... but I'm having some problems now.

1) the athena install sh script didn't work entirely; got hung up on the
AFS cache when I just hit return to accept the default value, and wound up
only sending "afs:/usr/vice/cache:" to /usr/vice/etc/cacheinfo.  No biggie;
I just fixed that myself.  Otherwise, it seemed to work smoothly... but...

2) I then rebooted, but AFS was broken.  I get the following panic (I tried
to get all the numbers and stuff right...)

AFS 3.3 ($ Revision 1.15 $)
Module loaded as ID 0
fatal privileged instruction fault in supervisor mode
type 0 code 0 eip f870eb9d cs f8750008 eflags 10202 cr2 160dc cpl 0

panic: trap
syncing disks... 3 3 1 done

dumping to dev 9, offset 17528

It then does a countdown, and reboots my box.  =(  Have I messed something
up, or what?

3) 2 other little things, assuming y'all can tell me how to get my NetBSD
to work ever again: how do I change the cursor (I prefer the underline to
the blinking box)?  and most basically, how do I add new users??

Thanks much,
Eric
