I tried this before and it did not work.  Yes, it generated the big
images but... they were broken.

For example, after mounting the CD inside the installer, running ls -l
/ shows the i386 directory but says it cannot access the boot and
netbsd files.  The same happens when listing i386/binary, which cannot
be accessed at all.  Strangely, the contents of i386/installation
appear correctly.

I fixed this by adding the 'rockridge' option to makefs (this feels
like a workaround though, because the image should work regardless of
this option).  But then, it did not preserve case (and - were
translated into _) and therefore sysinst was not able to locate the
installation sets...
