Hi,

I just did a cvs checkout sometime in the morning Central European
Time on 31 Dec 2005.  So it should be the CVS head version.

If I look at
ftp://ftp.ziaspace.com/pub/NetBSD/m68k/current/mac68ksoftfloat_20051231/mac68k/INSTALL.html
in lynx (so it's easy to cut and paste text) I see:

  NAME
                                                                                                                
   INSTALL - Installation procedure for NetBSD/mac68k.

That talks about the sysinst method starting on page 13.  
What are you expecting to see that you don't?

Thanks!
