The dc-tools package in pkgsrc provides dc-burn-netbsd, which works
great.

current doesn't seem to build successfully very often for me, but 7
has built and booted every time I've tried it in the past year. I can
even play tetris :)

xinit almost works, it starts up, I can see the classic grey
background and the "X" mouse cursor and wiggle the mouse for a
second until it locks up and the GD-ROM starts seeking like crazy,
endlessly.

I recently got a Broadband adapter which I hope will help me to get
X working as I suspect I may need to swap over NFS.
