Actually, if all you want to do is see if NetBSD will boot on your
machine, you need:

	* The booter

	* A kernel

You don't even need to partition or anything.  Put the kernel
(downloaded/extracted in binary mode) into a folder with the
booter and configure the booter to boot from that kernel image.

Can someone write this procedure up for the FAQ?
