   I have been using the ”sysinst” method with NETBSD_INSTALLSBC, pulling the sets via ftp. I had 6.1.4. running on a 1080MB drive, but it was too small for compiling the pkgsrc ”basic” tools. I noticed then, that the Installer (1.1.h) didn’t agree with the Booter (2.0.0) on the disk formatting, so I have not used it since then.

   The complete message from the Booter is:

'Magic numbers do not match — Improper UFS partition.
 Could not open kernel ”netbsd”'
