I got my PBP back. My wife's new PBP arrived. So I have time to play with NetBSD again.
I installed 9.99.72. (I think that's what it is, can't look right now.) I'm on my third try. This version, for me, is much, much less stable than the previous. I'm not sure why. I have been getting WiFi checksum errors, usually followed by lack of response from keyboard, and apparent total system lock. It happens very frequently. Most recently it happened whilst installing a bunch of packages. Even though I have journaling turned on, /tmp got severely hosed. Unfortunately the system automatically trying to clear that on boot-up really did a number on the filesystem. I may have to start over again. fsck has been finding DUPs for about six hours now. If I fail again, I'll be back to the previous version.
