Have you looked at the NetBSD Guide? Federico Lupi has done a wonderful
job of providing easy-to-read, step-by-step instructions for many tasks.

See http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/ and pick 'The NetBSD Guide' in
the language and format of your choice.

The majority of that will be the same. From time to time, NetBSD
introduces changes like the rd.c/rcorder system, which will put the docs
out of sync for a while - until OpenBSD chooses to import that
subsystem. Most things will look similar enough though. If not... ask
here :-)
