I try installing NetBSD 4 on the current Parallels Server for Mac. The problem I have:
The NetBSD installer seems not to be able to activate the virtual network interface, it does not get any contact to the outside world.

Has anyone out there already experience in this?

Net BSD is not oficcially supported in this build of Parallels Server. But there is a possibility to bring the networking to work:

please either disable ACPI-support in the booting options of NetBSD, or open the VM configuration->CPU->Show Advanced Settings and past the line "acpi=0" (without quotes) to the system flags of CPU.
