I had this working under 1.53. I am assuming it works the same under 1.6.

First start a shell from the Utility menu.

Then make a directory at the top level:
mkdir install_disks

Then mount your DOS volume with something like this:
mount -t msdos /dev/wd0g /install_disks
(the wd0g is the first CF card and the "g" partition)

If it warns you about missing labels, you will need to use disklabel. It
seemed to just work on my ATA flash card, but I am a newbie so I can't tell
you if that is right for everyone. It may take a while to do, but you should
not have to redo it. I used this command to do it interactively:
disklabel -r -i /dev/wd0

You can look at how to use these commands with man online or from a NetBSD
install elsewhere. If any of you gurus out there see something incorrect or
dangerous, please let me know!
