Hi,

from what I understood, the link you talk about 
(http://www.dubbele.com/) is thought for cable modem/ADSL 
owners. You download a floppy image, boot the machine used as 
firewall with the floppy (exiting harddrive will be overwritten!), enter 
the internal network information and everthing else should be 
automatic, that is a connection to the net is established and further 
data is transferred to set up a minimal system with the standard 
NetBSD firewall functionallity preconfigured with 40MB disk, 8MB 
Ram, any video.
