I don't think this is the information the original poster was after.
LFS is (IIRC) essentially a Howto about how to install linux to your
computer *without* just putting a CD into your drive and boot. e.g.
how to partition your harddisk, install kernel, userland, tools,
etc. by hand.
So I think he wanted to know if there is information about how to
install netbsd without sysinst or build.sh
