This points out an area that I think needs to be address before 1.1 is
released.  We need an improved install facility.  But, I don't want one
that is i386 centric.  I run NetBSD on a PC clone, but also on an Amiga.
NetBSD is a multi-platform OS.  It seems to me that in spite of that, the
install could be fairly generic, once specific hardware was configured.
Maybe an install script could run a platform specific install script followed
by a generic install script.  Does this sound feasible to anyone else?
