NetBSD net.Home 7.99.26 NetBSD 7.99.26 (GENERIC.201602141140Z) amd64
>Description:
Perhaps very unlucky, but I encountered DRMKMS drivers problems on two machines thus far.
I believe it will friendlier to users if we had a default option to turn it off at install and boot, and at least as useful as the ability to turn off SMP.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Maybe append a long string like: userconf disable nouveau;userconf disable radeon;userconf disable intel...
