When the /boot program is loaded and counts from 5 sec. down press the
space key, enter
boot netbsd -s
(or netbsd.gz, depends on the CD)
at the boot prompt and you will get to a single user shell. 

Yust put a disklabel and file systems on your disk(s), untar the dist
sets, make des device nodes, make the root disk bootable ("disklabel -B
sd0"), edit /etc/rc of the root disk, reboot and thats it.
