/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/inst/install.sh:

        echo    "For best disk performance, partitions should being and end on"
							      ^^^^^-- begin
        echo    "cylinder boundaries.  Wherever possible, pick sizes that are"
        echo -n "multiples are multiples of the cylinder size ($cylindersize"
                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^--- remove
        echo    "sectors)."

...
        echo    "$units_left $sizeunit remaining in NetBSD portion of disk."
        echo -n "Swap partition size (in $sizeunit)? "
        getresp

Should probably say something about common convention for choosing 
swap space?  Maybe provide a default based on the available physical
memory (limited by the available remaining disk space)?  The physical 
memory can be had via /kern/physmem and /kern/pagesize -- in that 
case /kern needs to be mounted... (KERNFS is in the i386 GENERIC* 
kernels).

...

	echo -n "Creating a fstab..."

I think it should be "an fstab" if you insist on using a/an.

...

/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/upgr/upgrade.sh:

        echo    "No disk edvices."
			 ^^- swap

(I know, I know, "nobody" will notice this... :-)
