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so Install-doc may be out of date in this regard.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

                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.
