Yes. Look's like ok. But I'm used to have '-u' (update) parameter in
./build.sh commands after I have builded tools. I don't know if it's
needed but just in case so that build.sh doesn't try to remove anything or
build tools again.

No. I don't think so.

After you have builded distribution, you have almost working system in
/usr/net4501. Only thing you are missing is the kernel which need to be
copied there also.

(btw. why doesn't build.sh -D/path/destination kernel=<something> copy the
kernel to /path/destination/netbsd? It would be nice.)

Ok. You have full distribution with kernel. Now write disklabel to your media
(see disklabel(8)), make filesystem (see newfs(8)), copy everything to
your media and write a boot sector (see installboot(8)). I'm not sure if this
works with cf cards.

HTH.
