Indeed.

To finish my work ASAP I ran NetBSD from live-CD, then mount both HDD-s,
and finally copy the files from one to another - and for the future I'm
preparing the kernel, according to the tips I read.


A little improvement suggestion to the live-CD-designers: there's really no
need for automatic start of the graphics mode. I suppose, a message like:
"type `startx' to enter graphics mode" will be good enough.
