Sometimes it's on, see https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/src/etc/etc.i386/rc.conf.append https://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-release-10/src/etc/...
> By default only one tty is enabled
Ah, but the rest is getting enabled by the installer, see https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-10/usr.sbin/sysinst/arch/i386/md.c#L499 https://github.com/NetBSD/src/blob/netbsd-10/usr.sbin/sysins...

I mean, it gets pretty close to that, and I don't even mind syslogd and powerd, but I'm confused why they enable stuff like postfix, inetd and makemandb without asking. Especially makemandb is pretty intensive on slow machines.

Whoopsie, that's on me, good catch!
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 2y agoAh, sysinst. I do not use it. This explains the enabling of programs in the configuration. Apologies I should have guessed that's where these settings were coming from. I usually installboot and disklabel manually, download and extract sets manually, use makefs or mdsetimage and vnconfig to create/edit images.

- 1vuio0pswjnm7 2y agoThe "discernable benefit" for me is 1. learning how things work and 2. flexibility.
