Install-doc does mention two install disks: boot-10.fs and inst-10.fs.
It appears that boot-10.fs is no longer in circulation on the net and
so Install-doc may be out of date in this regard.
Also, the section where it discusses 'rawwrite' and 'dd' is in a
completely different part of the file from where it discusses using
the install floppy, so it's easy to overlook. To prevent future questions
like this, I would recommend changing the following lines from INSTALL:
from:
612 First you need to get yourself into NetBSD. This can be
613 done in a couple ways, both of which currently require
614 AmigaDOS.
615
616 You can insert the AmigaDOS kernel boot floppy and reboot
617 or if you have downloaded a kernel to an AmigaDOS partition
618 along with loadbsd you can run it from the CLI like so:
619
620 loadbsd -b netbsd

(See the previous section Getting the NetBSD System on to
Useful Media for instructions on how to make a BSD
Installation floppy.)

Notice the reference to an Amiga *kernel boot* floppy (which is not the
same as inst-10.fs).
On the other hand, new users should read the docs *thrice* before posting
here.
