FWIW, I'm also new to NetBSD (and, coincidentally enough, also installed it on an old laptop). It definitely seems to be thoroughly documented and "clean" (or correct, as you put it).

To make sure I'm following here: post-install, you boot the machine (normally), but then instead of getting to a login prompt, you get a 'db>' prompt? If that's all correct, do you see any error message at all?
