   Interesting.  I've never done it via netbooting.

   Also interesting.  I've used sysinst on NetBSD/vax for the past 
several releases, on many different machines, and have had no problems 
whatsoever.  What brokenness are you referring to?  And how is it 
possible that a sysinst problem can be architecture-specific?  I can't 
think of any reason it'd need to be.
