I did it years ago, it works fine. IIRC, I had run the
solaris-specific "copy everything off the CD and lay out the install
dirs" script already on a solaris box, and jsut copied that and some
bootparams (etc) files across to netbsd.

Is the NetBSD machine not a sparc? In this case, you'll likely need to
use sunlabel(8) to read the label off the CD and adjust the in-core
label to suit.  "dkctl ... keeplabel yes" is handy between invocations
here :)
