Thanks for help! However, I still get the following errors. I must have missed something: installation was pretty smooth, however, setup, done according the start.ps,
is troublesome. 

term% ndb/dns
ndb/dns: can't read my ip address

term% cat /net/ether0/addr
cat: can't open /net/ether0/addr: file does not exist

(even /net/ether0 does not exist)

# This is /lib/ndb/local

	file=/lib/ndb/common
