This will get you a read/write filesystem, but will not get you fully 
up with networking to allow a send-pr.  You need to edit /etc/rc.conf 
to get everything set up properly and then a lot more stuff should 
just work.  (Of course you may need the ppp stuff and the rest of the 
NetBSD install before you can do that.  Catch 22.)
