It's less effort than most other NetBSD installations. Copy
image to SD card, boot from it and wait until the image
has been grown to the SD card size. Of course now you have
to collect and install the packages you need.

I'm using an RPI as a desktop system with a USB system disk
(the SD card is only used to boot the kernel). And while
that may be less demanding on USB than a router, it is stable.
