  I believe I could cd and echo *.  I don't seem to remember ls even
being on the disk but I could be mistaken.

  I didn't see it listed in the bootup message, and I can't choose
'md*' for a root partition.

  I told NetBSD that I didn't want to specify a dump disk for core
files.  I asummed this would mean it wouldn't generate core dumps
but instead it could mean that the core dumps are generated on the
same filesystem that the binary is executed from?

  I've tried that.  The method of installation isn't the problem.  The
problem is with ramdisk.fs on my system.  I've yet to here anyone
tell me they've succeeded with ramdisk.fs and I think thats the
problem.
