-Good luck, you'll need it...
+.Ss2 Booting the installer on an existing system
+If you already have
+.Nx
+installed, it is easy. Just boot into single
+user state on your current system, or use the 
+.Ic shutdown now
+command to shutdown to single-user state. Then copy the installer using
+.Ic dd :
+.Pp
+.Dl Ic "dd if=sysinst.fs of=/dev/rsd0b"
+.Pp
+where
+.Li /dev/rsd0b
+should be the device path of the swap partition your system
+is configured to use. Once the file is copied, reboot back to the booter
+and use the '-b' option to make the kernel prompt for a root device. Now
+enter the swap device as your root device to start the installer.
+.Pp
+.Ss2 Booting the installer on new systems.
+If your system has more than 6MB RAM, you can skip directly to the section
+about
+.Ic loadbsd.ttp,
+since the amount of RAM is enough to load the installer into.
+.Pp
+For new new installations on small memory systems, things are a bit more
+complicated. The easiest way is to mark an AHDI partition as id 'SWP'. You
+can either accomplish this with HDdriver or use the 
+.Ic chg_pid.ttp
+program supplied on the bootfloppy. To use the fifth partition of your
+first drive to a swap partition, do the following:
+.Pp     
+.Dl Ic "chg_pid -w 0 4 SWP"
+.Pp
+As you can see, both the drive and the partition numbers are zero
+based.
+.Pp
+When a swap partition has been created, you can transfer the installer using
+the
+.Ic file2swp.ttp
+command, which is also on the bootfloppy. This program copies a (gzipped)file
+to the first AHDI partition with id 'SWP' on the designated disk.  To copy
+sysinst.fs to your first SCSI disk, use:
+.Pp
+.Dl Ic "file2swp -w -f sysinst.fs s0"
+.Pp
+Note that
+.Ic file2swp
+automatically detects a gzipped file, there is no need for a  .gz extension.
+.Ss2 Using loadbsd.ttp
+To start the installer, you first need to load a
+.Nx
+kernel.  This can be done in a couple ways, both of which currently require
+.Tn GEMDOS .
+You need either the bootfloppy provided in the
+distribution or you can copy the
+.Ic loadbsd.ttp
+program and
+kernel to a boot floppy disk (1.44 MB needed) or put them on a
+.Tn TOS
+partition.  Select the loadbsd program and it will
+ask for parameters, supply:
+.Sq Ic "-b netbsd"
+(or whatever name
+you copied the kernel to).  You can, of course, also run it
+from the shell command-line in
+.Tn MiNT :
+.Pp
+.Dl Ic "loadbsd -b a:/netbsd"
+.Pp
+You should see the screen clear and some information about
+your system as the kernel configures the hardware.  Then
+you will be prompted for a root device. If you copied the installer to
+a swap partition, as explained above, you have to enter the swap partition
+as the boot device. When you used your first SCSI disk, this will be
+.Ic sd0b.
+On the first IDE drive it would be
+.Ic wd0b.
+.Pp
+When you didn't copy the installer to swap, need to use the RAMdisk, so
+remove the
+.Tn GEMDOS
+kernel boot floppy from the drive if present and insert the
+.Nx
+install floppy 1.  Now type
+.Sq Ic md0a
+to tell the
+kernel to load the install file system into RAMdisk. While
+the kernel is loading, it will show a
+.Sq \&.
+for each
+track loaded. After loading 80 tracks, it will ask you
+to insert the next floppy. At this time, insert the
+.Nx
+install floppy 2 and press any key. The kernel continues
+loading another 40 tracks before it continues to boot.
+.(Note
+If you are using 1.44 MB floppies, you should select
+.Sq Ic md1a
+instead of
+.Sq Ic md0a .
