Hi, very nice work man!
I was looking for something like this, very useful in case you do not
have any other way to boot something that isn't netboot/pxe :)
I want to build my own LiveKey to be able to install NetBSD from the USB
stick, so I was wondering how to put sysinst in place correctly.
Any idea?

Best regards
