You use hpcboot to load it into the correct area of memory on your
iPAQ.

I meant if you want to network the PDA to something else.

The binary of hpcboot.exe is uuencoded when it is stored in CVS so
that it only uses printable ascii characters.

You would need to uudecode the file. The uudecode command is available
on all NetBSD systems, or search google for a Windows version.

We ought to be copying a decoded version of hpcboot into the installation
directory. We ought to build installation kernels too, but that wouldn't
help you as you don't want to install to a storage card right now.
