So, I checked; for some reason, it is in GENERIC and INSTWDCPCM, but not in
INSTALL.=20
I think the reason is that ssh/sshd are not on the install media
(the miniroot for Amiga), and that you would install either GENERIC
during the release process, or your self-taylored kernel soon later.
I remember I had to beg to get rnd into INSTWDCPCM, so that people that wan=

to thouroghly test the new techlogy (machine-independent WDC driver and=20
PCMCIA support on A1200) would have a working system until compiling a new
kernel.
If you think otherwise, please discuss this on netbsd-users or tech-install,
or open a geneneric (hm... bin? etc?) PR about this; this decision should be
machine independent.
(Hm, on a 2nd thought, I could guess that the people with sysinst-inside-ke=
rnel
installs are less likely to install the INSTALL kernel for the final system=
...)
