I adapted the NetBSD/i386 install scripts and procedure, used crunched
binaries and built new bootable images. They'll soon be available on the
servers.

There are 4 images:
- miniroot-10A.fs	should hold anything which is considered useful
- microroot-10A.fs	holds as much as possible while fitting into 1200K
- nfs-800k-10A.fs	similiar to old microroot, but fits into 2 RX50
- rx50-boot-10A.fs	bootable RX50 images, same as old boot.fs

which are still pre-alpha (the extension "10A" might be misleading, it
was appended by the Makefile :-)

The new images hold a slightly modified racopy which now asks before
installing bootblocks and before initializing the 'a'-partition. Thus
these images can now be used as emergency tape/floppies.

Also in the images there's a install script which is a slighly
modified copy of install.sh from NetBSD/i386. Thus major parts
of the general NetBSD/i386 README hold for the new images. If 
you don't use the install-script, you fall back at the #-prompt
and can proceed from there.

The shell-commands "Set_tmp_Dir", "Extract" and "Configure" are
also available, but I don't know if they work with the tar-files
from ragge's snapshot (the snapshot is not yet available on my
preferred mirror).

It would be nice if some people would give these images a try ...
But if you're interested in a well-tested and known-to-work method
of installing, you may want to use rick's miniroot/root.cpio

And yes, there's no documentation yet. If I've enough time, then
in the next few days I'll write a small one :-)

Ciao,

PS: following is a short list of what's compiled into the crunched
    binaries. Comments / Complaints ?
