I didn't try, but you should add something to get sure to install the GENERIC
kernel, otherwise you might run into trouble booting. BTW, i installed
completely non-sysinst-based (as i do very often on nearly all non-i386
platforms), there could be a hint to copy bootsd to the root-fs before running
installboot, if you split / and /usr into to slices. installboot doesn't really
like the situation otherwise.

More success stories to follow, the next step is grabbing some parts of my
electronics dealer, create some nifty I/O stuff, write drivers for it and
voila... my appartment is powered by NetBSD :)

I locked out co.uk completely due to exessive spam and nobody i know with this
TLD :) Fixed this now, in hope, not to get lots of more spam now.
