1.) Compile a kernel which hardwire the root filesystem to your harddisk
with a config(8) line like this:
config netbsd root on wd0a type ffs
2.) Create a bootable MS-DOS floppy and copy "/usr/mdec/dosboot.com" and a
gzip-ed version of your kernel (as "NETBSD.GZ") on the floppy. The floppy
should have no "CONFIG.SYS" and a "AUTOEXEC.BAT" which looks like this:
DOSBOOT NETBSD.GZ
Kind regards
