+
+=head2 PostgreSQL Setup
+
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql initdb
+ /usr/local/etc/rc.d/postgresql start
+
+Make sure PostgreSQL starts at boot by adding the following to
+"C</etc/rc.conf>":
+
+ postgresql_enable="YES"
+
+When installing C<postgresqlXX-server> port, it creates the C<pgsql> user with
+"C<nologin>" shell. As root, do C<vipw> and change the shell to C</bin/sh> or
+whichever shell you want, so that you can do the C<createuser> step from the
+main instructions.
+
+C<pgtune> doesn't seem to work on NetBSD. This needs looking into. Nothing
+will break, but it just means the server probably isn't tuned to your system's
+hardware (RAM, etc).
