Hi David,

I have a Soekris myself but I didn't end up bothering with anything too
special to get NetBSD on it.  I did a standard install from default
netbsd-4 media but just minimised the sets I chose.  I run it off a 1Gb
CF card and I'm only using just over 200Mb now (base sets + some
packages).  In terms of the sets I chose base, etc, man, misc, and text.
 I suppose you could get even more hardcore than that and just install
base and etc.

adrian.
