Has anyone made a script for installing NetBSD on a small drive
(16M flash soldered onto CPU card in my case) I managed to get a fairly
good working set into 10M doing it by hand but now I need to duplicate it
for a customer over many machines. I can copy the files with pax but have
trouble getting the drive to boot: So I guess I really need to know is
what is the exact procedure for intializing a fresh drive: I had endless
troubles with fdisk, installboot, and disklabel mostlu ending up with
unbootable drives...
