Can't help you with sys_inst, sorry (I've used it only once). The "easiest"
way to install would be (we'll this is what I do) to create a minimal
diskless install with at least base.tgz + etc.tgz (+kern). Untar, MAKEDEV,
configure /etc/rc.conf + /etc/fstab + /etc/ttys (or just follow the
Diskless-howto:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/

After getting that working just disklabel your drive, installboot,
untar the kits you need and fix the little things: MAKEDEV, /etc/*
(I always forget /etc/localtime :-)

If you decide to go that route you can comfort yourself in knowing that
at least you'll learn a lot:)

Good luck,
