to use this computer in order to monitor network activity or to perform other
installation tasks, quit this welcome screen and login into the system as root.
Use 'tip qube' to connect to your appliance over the serial port (/dev/tty00).

Beside of the idea, many configuration files were taken out of the original
Cobalt OS Restore CD and modified to work with the NetBSD.
