Can it be done otherwise? I've run `install' on the install-kernel of
NetBSD 1.3.2; after I entered all the harddisc partitions and formatted
them, I manually de-tar'd all sets in the /mnt dir, and off you go! just
edit the /mnt/etc/rc.conf and restart the computer with `shutdown -r now'
.. I used a big IDE disc (with a RISCOS partition) and got the tarballs
from another machine using NFS / FTP... (BIG) YES!, it's ideal!

Dunno about 1.4; that kernel doesn't work here; Mark is working on it...

Success, and feel free to ask for details,
