Hi,
I've installed NetBSD on an external USB disk and made sure its
/etc/fstab was correct.
However, when I reboot on this disk, I have a "Heap full" error and the
machine boots on its internal disk.
If I drop to the boot prompt and type "boot hd0:", NetBSD boots normally.
My guess is that I n
details could help you to help me, feel free to
ask more precise questions.

In case anyone else would want to do the same, I've finally
found out that in order to boot from an USB disk, the
loading of modules must be enabled, i.e.:
installboot -o modules /dev/rsd0a /usr/mdec/bootxx_ffsv2

Is there any chance it worked due to a side-effect of not loading modules?
Yes, and I am currently out of ideas what went wrong.

Hi,
OpenBSD 6.6 already supports I2C trackpads (iichid module) and FreeBSD
12.2 will include support for them.
Are there any plans to support I2C trackpads in NetBSD too?

I also had tons of package installation problems of the same kind for
weeks... Until I tried and use the German mirror and everything worked fine.
This means that between Feb. 14th and Apr. 25th, I've been unable to
install NetBSD 9.0, and I've finally succeeded just by chance.
I'm happy I've
Thanks for your explanations, Robert, I now better understand some
issues I recently ran into.
As for the packaging system, it is certainly the greatest weakness of
the whole BSD family, not only NetBSD.

extract its contents to a FAT-formatted USB pen drive,
reboot the laptop with the pen drive attached
and enter the BIOS firmware flash utility (often the F7 key).

- Display performance without i915drmkms is quite acceptable for most
