 It looks rather counter-intuitive to resize the mounted root but that

Indeed you may want reboot -n!

Hopefully not necessary for a read-only root.

Does it make a difference with just reboot (without -n) if the
filesystem is mounted read-only?

  What is the way around this problem?
 
 resize_ffs appeat to work like a charm from within the domU. I did it in
 single user with read-only root and just swap activated, and rebooted
 immediatly upon completion.

And make sure it does not have WAPBL on it.

Hi

I tried using a PCI graphic card with Xorg without success on NetBSD/i386
(6.0, 6.1 and -current). Xorg -configure is able to create a config file,
with the card model and PCI location correctly detected. However,
any attempt to use it will end with a No device detected error.

I attempted to install a newer libpciaccess from pkgsrc, without succes.
I get the same result with various PCI cards, wether being ATI radeon
or Matrox. The built in AGP card works fine with X.

Any hint?

This may be the same as the problem I reported in xsrc/47331

I've never gotten any PCI card to work on amd64 since 6.0.  The cards I have 
all work under previous versions of NetBSD though.
