Hi Igor, your proposal sounds good so far.

How about adding a close related but different additional goal as a possible
stretch goal (in case you get everything done quick enough)?

The proper setup of (U)EFI boot options will make it possible to
enhance sysinst to allow automatic installation of NetBSD side by side
on the same disk with other already installed OSes, relying on the
(U)EFI boot selector to pick a system to boot. Strictly speaking this
is not part of the original project, but it is a simple extensions and
will be easy once you are comfortable with the sysinst internals
required for the boot option setup.
