Nothing to be scared about.

If you don't have a browser or network file transfer capabilities on that system, you can mount a FAT filesystem from any USB stick and copy the file to it.

Example: when you insert a USB stick, you see kernel messages on the console telling you that mass storage drive "sd0" has been inserted. Also, I assume this is a typical stick, it has an MBR sector and a single FAT32 filesystem on it. NetBSD will assign it a pseudo disklabel partition "i". If its a different drive number, such as sd1 or sd2, change appropriately:

# mount -t msdos /dev/sd0i /mnt
# dmesg > /mnt/dmesg
# cp /var/log/Xorg.0.log /mnt
# umount /mnt

Remove stick, insert in the computer you are using to communicate, and copy/paste the contents of these files here. Wrap the pasted content in [code] and [/code] tags for readability.
