NetBSD 5.2.1 Cobalt RestoreCD/RestoreUSB
NetBSD 5.2.1 has been released recently, so I've built and put
5.2.1 based NetBSD/cobalt RestoreCD/USB images:
http://ftp.NetBSD.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/cobalt/restore-cd/5.2.1/
No visible functional changes in RestoreCD/USB script itself,
and only NetBSD binaries (and CHANGES file) are updated from
the previous 5.2 ones. See release announcements for 5.2.1 changes:
http://www.NetBSD.org/releases/formal-5/NetBSD-5.2.1.html
restorecd-5.2.1-20131019.iso.gz is a gzipped RestoreCD ISO9660 image.
restoreusb-5.2.1-20131019.img.gz is a gzipped RestoreUSB image
for >=512MB USB memory sticks on USB bootable PCs.
You can write the image using gzip(1) + dd(1) on Unix like OSes:
NetBSD:
# gzcat restoreusb-5.2.1-20131019.img.gz | dd of=/dev/rsd0d bs=64k
(replace the device name as per your kernel dmesg)
FreeBSD:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install-pre.html#install-boot-media
Linux:
# fdisk -l
(check a device name of your USB memory)
# gunzip restoreusb-5.2.1-20131019.img.gz
# dd if=restoreusb-5.2.1-20131019.img of=/dev/sdX oflag=direct bs=1048576
or use imageWriter etc.

Mac OS X:

You can also use "Rawrite32" utility on MS Windows:

Have fun,
