- there may be a reason no one is using this setup, as it won't work? i 
wasn't aware the WCF12 works on the z50 w/NetBSD (if it does, please 
correct me)...

- i'd format the Lexar, prep with a VFAT partition, put pbsdboot and an
install kernel on it, put the install packages on the 20GB unit, boot to 
an install off the Lexar, use the 20GB to do the install onto the Lexar... 
assuming the DNBoy (???) is supported, you can mount/umount the 20GB as 
needed, and if the WiFi card is supported, use it in a PCMCIA adapter?... 

- dunno if this helps?
