You could also use the cpin command of the installer to copy the
tar file onto the netbsd drive and use tar to get at it. It tends to
be faster.

Oh, hda2 is a Linux-ism. In NetBSD, it'd be something like sd2a.

There MUST be more details than that. What was it doing just before the
core dump? How do you know it core dumps? "NetBSD" doesn't core dump. If
bad stuff happens, the kernel will panic. An individual program can core
dump, but that's the program dumping core.

We can't help you w/o details. What are the last few things on the
screen before everything dies?

Everything should be fine with a IIsi. I have one with 17 MB RAM, and it's
quite happy (if slow).

Take care,
