I saw the "boot -c" command in INSTALL.html and tried it.
By disabling the i915drmkms driver, I could successfully install
NetBSD,
and WiFi even works!
However, I have to use boot -c every time I boot the machine, and
this
is not viable.
Hence 2 questions:
1. Is there a way to permanently disable i915drmkms?
Or why enable it in the first place if it hangs the machine?
2. Does this mean I will not be able to use X with decent performance?
Thank you in advance for your help.
