I also never use make install. I usually have a /netbsd.GENERIC on most
machines, if tuning kernel, maybe a /netbsd.old, and a /netbsd, which is the
current production kernel.

you could play around with the partitions, make your boot partition mounted
to /kernels and relocate the root partition to "d" or so. but then you have to
use the "netbsd on <blah>" in your kernel config. i did something similar with
root-FS on RAIDframe a while ago, but i don't know the exact steps i took then.
