Hi,

Is it possible to do a fresh install of NetBSD by chrooting?

What I would like to be able to do is do an install on either anotherdrive or on an NFS partition. Then chroot to it and then delete the filesthat are on /, /var, and /usr and then do a clean install of NetBSD. Isthis possible? If it is, could someone give me a how to on doing somethinglike this?


Best Regards,
Al
