See src/rescue/Makefile and src/rescue/list* .
It is a good example of how to reuse the existing build
infrastructure within NetBSD to do this.
That said, if I have a bit more space than the install media (e.g, I
can afford the kernel to be 3-4MB), I prefer to just copy the
standard dynamically linked apps into the "work" dir that we
makefs(8) into a file system to be injected into a kernel with
mdsetimage(8).
YMMV.
Cheers,
Luke.
