It's also possible, though rather tedious, to do everything that 
'sysintall' does "by hand".  That used to be documented on the 
NetBSD web site.  The procedure goes something like

	Boot from the installation floppy
	Get the shell prompt
	Edit the disk label(s)
	Create the file systems
	Configure the network
	FTP the distribution sets
	(etc.)

... you get the idea.
