Matt Debergalis just contributed some install docs, which I haven't had
a chance to integrate. It netboots, so check out the netboot howto at:
http://www.netbsd.org/Documentation/network/netboot/index.html
The ultra brief form is:
1. bootp to get ip address and boot loader name
(see ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/arch/next68k/README for
a sample bootptab)
2. tftp to get boot image
3. nfs to read kernel and mount root filesystem.
NeXTstep netboots in a similar way, so your NeXT documentation
might help as well.
I will attempt to integrate Matt's documentation shortly, and
will send mail to the mailing list once that is done.
