Success!

I managed to install it. The hardest part was "finding" a medium from 
which the installer could properly install the packages.
I managed to achieve this in a few steps:

1.creating an additional partition on the target disk where NetBSD was 
to be installed. Unfortunately, under Linux, UFS partitions are 
read-only, so it must be FAT (msdos),

2. after preparing the disk, I interrupted the installation and on a PC 
with Linux I created a "dd" image with the "conv=swab" option (byte 
swap) to be able to read and mount the partitions,

3. I formatted the msdos partition as FAT, mounted it and copied the 
files from the installation disk,

4. re-image the disk with byte swapping

5, now when installing from Hades you can select a local disk and by 
adding "targetroot" at the beginning of the path, you can install packages.

For now I have chosen the minimal installation. Unfortunately when I try 
to configure the network the computer hangs, or at least nothing happens 
for 5 minutes :)

This is a great step forward.

I keep trying.

Artur
