Not exactly a USB hard drive. I have an IBM 1GB microdrive connected via a
USB 'ZIO' compact flash reader to a PC.

Installing NetBSD on the PC is an option I'd prefer to avoid if possible
in this case.

I'd like to boot from floppy and install to the USB hard drive, however
the default boot/install floppy images don't seem to see the device.

Has anyone done anything like this, or can offer any advice ?
(if it involves adding support into the boot disk kernel I'm fine with
that providing theres an ice reference on how to do it somewhere :)

Cheers,

Al
