I am trying to learn how to install NetBSD, starting with trying it in a virtual machine (Gnome Boxes).
-
@183231bcb Did you configure the network before trying to enable binary packages?
-
@[email protected] Yes. The steps I followed were
1)Configure network
2)Re0
3)Autoselect
4)Perform autoconfiguration
5)Host namelocalhost(I also tried leaving it blank)
6)DNS blank
7)When asked "Is the network information accurate for this machine in regular operation and do you want to install it in /etc", select yes. -
@183231bcb Maybe the dhcp isn't getting the right DNS servers. What if you put 9.9.9.9 as the DNS server?
-
@[email protected] How do I do that? Here's what I see on the network screen. If I click no, I get sent back to the autoconfig thing. I don't see a way to edit just the Nameserver.
-
@183231bcb You would change Nameserver.
-
@[email protected] Ah wait I see: I just select "no" to the question of whether I want to autoconfig. Here's what I get now. Let's see if this works...

@[email protected] Nope, attempting to enable binary packages gives the same result (it gets stuck on the same screen).
-
@183231bcb No idea then, there might be some weird stuff going on with Gnome Boxes' network configuration =/
-
@[email protected] Hmm, lemme try doing it from VirtualBox instead.

Update: In VirtualBox, the autoselected networking device iswm0instead ofre0. And...it works! So I guess I'll have to file a bug report with Boxes.
