Yes, indeed. I planned to write it last weekend, but then I was too
busy with finishing QNAP support (new RTC driver). :)

It is just a matter of days until such a guide is available.

Absolutely. That's what I did. Additionally you should upload a dummy
ram-disk image, because the G600 U-Boot will always load both.

This is also one of the reasons that altboot got an interactive mode.
So you can boot the installation kernel via NFS or TFTP without problem.
The default is now to boot a netbsd kernel from the local disk.
