from the faq at http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/sgimips/faq.html :

*  Then prepare a second hard disk with NetBSD's FFS and disklabel. You
then tell the kernel to use root/swap on the second disk. The firmware
can't currently boot the kernel from an FFS filesystem, though, and
you'll need to boot that via the net for now. 

... so you /always/ have to netboot the machine?  even after the OS is
installed?
