Christian Limpach <chris@Pin.LU> has a small installboot.sh script that does what installboot(8) should do.  This allows next68k systems to boot NetBSD from SCSI hard drives.

# simple installboot program we can use until we have disklabel to do the job.
# (This one has the advantage that it runs on any architecture. However it
#  expects the bootblock to be located at a very fixed position.)
