with any luck, it's in the INSTALL document. i don't know if it made it
in there for 1.5 or not. sysinst is the machine-independent installation
tool that is used by most netbsd ports, tho. it's menu-driven and fairly
straight-forward to use. it runs off of a ramdisk that is built into an
installation kernel. it's pretty nifty on the whole.
