I am trying out NetBSD 11 (x86-64) in a VirtualBox VM.

As I have encountered before, I somehow failed to install the `pkgin`
command. I don't know how. I managed to bodge it into place somehow,
and installed CDE.

I found this helpful:

Is there a better guide anywhere?

I managed to install it, and _try_ to launch it with `startcde` but it
shows a full-screen splash message, then dies with an error.

The default X11 WM (`ctwm`?) but CDE won't start.

I tried editing /etc/rc.conf but somehow killed my VM and now it won't
boot at all. I am hoping for some pointers or guidance before I start
from scratch.

Thanks!
