yeah, I've done full bare-metal restores from backuppc many times. Never on
a small non-x86 box tho.
tar+netcat is what's needed on the client side (unless you have some other
transport mechanism... netcat is what I usually use). I don't know if the
netbsd installer has netcat (AFAIK it has pax instead of tar, which I think
will work).

anyone know a simple way to get netcat on a 'rescue image' that runs in RAM
on an hpcmips machine?
