Dont worry, it's fairly easy to write shell-scripts. A minimum of
knowledge of any programming language such as Forth, Basic, Cobol, C

You are lucky anyway: NetBSD 1.3 has completely new installation scripts.

It my be that after doing it by hand, newfs that is, the script might
be able to recognize the partitions automatically.

Dont get 1.2G (I probably made a mistake by naming it 1.2G anyway).
Please wait for 1.3 due to 1st December. Ugh :-) New Gateway! Series
