This is one of the reasons why I bought an OpenBSD cd-rom earlier this
year - I have no other way of booting my standalone system than the one
hard disk that I have, and it was worrying to think I was up the creek
with only one paddle.  I really think the NetBSD core should devote some
effort to producing a NetBSD CD-ROM with each release.  Also to make it
easier to get current source code (I've tried sup at 9600 baud, it was
useless, it takes *days* to download updates).
