Thank you everyone for your advice! Sadly, neither recipe helped. The main message I'm getting is the following one which comes when my laptop has no LAN cable:

alc0: wathcdog timeout (missed link)

I commented both lines in /etc/syslog.conf:

#*.err;kern.*;auth.notice;authpriv.none /dev/console
#*.notice;auth.debug root

and nothing happened, the messages keep on appearing. I also put a line "hw.alc0.txintrperiod=1" to /etc/sysctl.conf, nothing changed either.

Of course I always can switch to a user account and enjoy myself there. But I'm using this NetBSD installation mostly for hacking the system (it's not my main OS) and sometimes stay under root for quite a while, so I need to know what's going wrong.
