Here you can read about some of the logic behind building an bootable image:
http://wiki.onetbsd.org/index.php/How_to_build_your_own_NetBSD_LiveCD
The other howto I wrote covering much about building a CF image:
http://www.yazzy.org/docs/NetBSD/netbsd-on-cf.txt
It does not cover crunching as I prefer using dynamically linked libaries.

Cheers,
