The only things I don't like about sysinst are the fact that it doesn't 
recover so well from a forced fsck and it doesn't pick up again so well 
after a slightly altered environment in /bin/sh from the utilities menu. 
Otherwise, NetBSD sysinst is one of the best bloody system installers I've 
ever seen. No tedius package installation. No tedius, endless menus to 
"preconfig" your system. It does one thing and it does it fast, and 
well--install NetBSD on a computer.

I once managed to get the install (nothing custom, just pure ftp and 
default sysinst) into a server in about five minutes. This is installing 
all sets. It was great!
