The latter is how I've always done it.  It usually seems to work.

The kernel will probably prompt for a root device if it hasn't got one 
compiled in.  If you want to nail down the root device, you'll probably 
need to compile your own kernel.  boot26 is documented in its manual page; 
see <http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?boot26+.acorn26+NetBSD-1.6.2>.
