I'm looking at a diff between your howto.list and the one in htdocs:

A few comments on the contents:
 * Please remove your name from the Copyright message, it will be in
   the commit log once in-tree. :)
 * Small typo "personaltrial" => "personal trial"
 * Wording in the paragraph replacing the two projects is a bit unclear
   to me. How about: ``For doing useful things, only netboot is useful,
   so only that is described here.'' IMHO it'd still be nice to have
   instructions on doing both, esp. for a "trial" CD :)
 * You can write manpages just as "exports(5)", the .list->.html
   conversion will automatically expand that.
 * At least using a NetBSD NFS server, it's not "maproot=root" but
   "-root=0"
 * "ps aux | grep [mount/nfs]d" is not ready for cut&paste,
   "ps aux | egrep '(mount|nfs)'d" is.
 * besides nfs_server=yes, mention lockd=yes and statd=yes
 * start dhcp by putting dhcpd=yes into /etc/rc.conf and then running
   "sh /etc/rc.d/dhcpd start".
 * Maybe use an example "/home/dreamcast" instead of some non-existing
   "<dreamcast-world>"
 * Maybe inline the fstab example. It's easier to print etc.

 * grab htdocs:
   env CVS_RSH=ssh cvs -d anoncvs@anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot co htdocs
 * Frob the .list file
 * Run "make" to generate the .html file
 * Submit updates by mailing them to www@netbsd.org or me.

We'd be happy if you could send us updates for the FAQ as well.
