And those who (try) to do a first install with a non - NetBSD machine
as a helper. It would be a very nice thing if there were something like
a miniroot or 32M-diskimage, which can simply be dd-ed on a disk,
enabling to boot a NetBSD system to ftp the rest.
The install-script OpenBSD-pmax have on their 32MB image is really nice.
And there may be people who only have 2100s or 3100s which cannot boot
properly from network.
