Actually booting single user didn't work for me because /etc
is in the 
root filesystem and it is read-only when I boot single user
using boot 
-s hd0a:netbsd. Is there a way to boot in single user mode
and also 
write to the root filesystem? Anyway, I added the /etc/pam.d
files using 
a boot floppies, and then I was able to login and now I have
a working 
3.0 system! Thanks.

mount it read-write. For example:

http://www.netbsd.org/guide/en/chap-
misc.html#chap-misc-forgot-root-password 

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/misc/#read-
only-to-read-write

http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/misc/#why-single-us
