Thanks!

Okay, I have made the PXE boot the pxeboot_ia32.bin file. (I can't boot
the kernel directly at first because "NBP is too big to fit in free base
memory").

And I have a NFS mount setup and DHCP gives that information.

And it boots my netbsd (which is the gunzipped netbsd-INSTALL.gz).

And now I have sysinst!

I will document all the DHCPD, TFTPD and other configurations and steps.

Thanks again,
