Hmmm I got #RiverWM and #Cow built OK on #NetBSD manually but cannot get past starting #Wayland as I keep getting cannot open tty0 to update VT: permission denied. This might take a while as trying all the usual seatd stuff doesn't seem to work. I tried to add my user to the group video but it does not exist and not sure if I need to manually create it ?
Slow and steady wins the race though. I'll get there eventually.
