And also a way to have most default configurable (I'm thinking about
ftp or nfs servers or path here).
Of course the ram disk is not a good place, it's to hard to put an extra
file on it. Perhaps on the floppy, along with netbsd.gz ?
Maybe it's possible to get this file from dhcp ?
This means that the dhcp client should send an option in its querry,
allowing the server to know it's a NetBSD install.
