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 2 months ago by vsis@feddit.cl to c/netbsd@blendit.bsd.cafe

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)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by chimay@blendit.bsd.cafe to c/netbsd@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.

NetBSD sysupgrade

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