 Thank you very much. Both of these image groups appear to work. The do
 complain about /dev/console but I can access the installation afterwards.
 
 The difference I spotted is that the floppy-INSTALL_FLOPPY print white
 console text, whereas the floppy-INSTALL print green text until shortly
 before the installer is launched.
 
 
 I am now installing using the images from
 https://www.netbsd.org/~rin/netbsd-7-i386-20171221/floppy-INSTALL/ .
 Process is slowed down IPv6 - ftp tries to connect to IPv6 address  and has
 to timeout before proceeding with IPv4. Is there any way to disable IPv6?
 
 Best regards,
 
 Dimitris
