This DID work!
I crosscompiled my own stripped-down kernel, but that on the miniroot
(crosscompiled form i386 too), and that kicked right into the installer.

May I (please!) suggest to put a second, smaller, kernel on the miniroot,
so people who want to install on a small-memory(?) machine can install
NetBSD? Just requiring them to boot a different kernel (name) should be
ok...
