sysinst (NetBSD's installer) sucks on all archs. You actually saw
one of the better ones (presuming it behaves about as well as it
does on sparc).

Nobody in the NetBSD community ever claimed we were user friendly.

(And if they did, they should have been shot for it. ;^>)

It's precisely things like this that make me think that someone like
Debian dressing NetBSD (or, really, any BSD, though I'm rather fond
of NetBSD personally, and also happen to think it's technically
superior in a lot of important--design-oriented--ways) up would be
a Good Idea.

I'd even like to help... only but I've got these three unsupported
processors lying around, and that's just more fun to play with. :^>
