 Just unpacking base.tgz is not sufficient to populate a boot image,
 you need at least etc.tgz and you probably want misc.tgz and text.tgz.
 
 The system panics, because there is no /dev/console after unpacking
 just base.tgz. The device nodes are not part of base.tgz. You need
 to create them, e.g. by running the MAKEDEV script. The MAKEDEV
 script is part of the etc.tgz set
 
 You can run the evbppc version of MAKEDEV on i386. E.g.
 
 tar xpzf 10.0-evbppc/sets/etc:tgz
 ( cd dev && ./MAKEDEV all )
 
 
 You may also want to prepare other things on the target disk
 before booting.

 - etc/fstab
