sysctl enabled but HAL non-existant (Reid Linnemann)

[Desmond Chapman]

I've installed HAL and the same message comes up with the gnome desktop- and this happens in the install of NetBSD that I also have- the HAL problem of not being enabled or installed.
I may be wrong in assuming this; but, isn't there some basic compatibility between bsd systems that what would work for freebsd and mounting would also work for netbsd?
chmod 0777 /dev/acd0 and chmod 0777 /dev/cd0a allows me to see the icons in konqueror and nautilus.
sysctrl v allows me some access but full access is only as root.
I did a search for a command line that would help me set up HAL for both desktops.
