This is my method to dual-boot NetBSD and Archilnux in my laptop.

Please, feel free to comment everything I'm doing wrong. I'm not exactly an expert on the topic.

NetBSD - UEFI installation with Full Disk Encryption (vsis.online)
submitted 5 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I have no idea how to do full-disk-encryption with NetBSD in UEFI systems.

Closest thing I can do is plain-text rootfs and encrypted /home, /var, /usr and swap. So, it's secure enough if my laptop get lost or stolen.

I wrote a post about how I do that.

If anyone can guide me to a rootfs on CGD or LVM, I'd appreciate that.

pkgsrc (blendit.bsd.cafe)

Almost every NetBSD user knows about pkgsrc, the equivalent of FreeBSD port system. You can use it on NetBSD of course, but also on other Unix-like OS like *BSD or Linux.

Besides that, there is also pkgsrc/wip, where new maintainers can practise their skills. It may be worth taking a look there, whether you want to contribute or to find a package not present in the main pkgsrc tree.

You also have pkgin, equivalent to FreeBSD's pkg.

Finally, Joyent proposes prebuilt packages for a variety of platforms.

Additionally, potential buffer overflow in count_users() and reading outside of allocated memory issues due to wrong struct type used in the pam_set_item() call have been identified.

#openBSD upgrade tool is praised, and with reason. From what Ijust read, #NetBSD #sysupgrade one is also a great tool :
