existing non-floppy, non-cd ftp install?
I have downloaded the needed files to make a ftp install. The files are suposed to be put on a floppy disk. However, the files are, appearantly, too big for any of my 1.44mb disks. I have formated them.
And so, I wanted to know, can I install without having to use cd or floppy, but also without downloading the cd images?
....Maybe I should just order the cd´s over the net...

SYSINST(8) BSD System Manager's Manual SYSINST(8)
NAME
sysinst -- install or upgrade a NetBSD system
SYNOPSIS
sysinst [-D] [-f deffile] [-r releasename]
DESCRIPTION
sysinst is a menu-based program that may be used to install or upgrade a NetBSD system. It is usually invoked automatically when the system
is booted from appropriate installation media.
sysinst is usually not present on a NetBSD system that has been fully installed.
OPTIONS
-D Switch on debugging.
-r releasename Set the releasename if it is different to the one compiled. Currently unused.
-f deffile Set a file for definitions other than the defaults. See DEFINITION FILE for its format.
DEFINITION FILE
The definition file is used to set several other names and directories to search for. You can specify any of the options in the file. They
are stored as:
option = value
pairs. In this description, REL and MACH are the release and architecture respectively, determined by the image sysinst is used on.
option name default value description
release REL Release name (also set by -r releasename).
machine MACH Machine architecture

ext dir Extract dir (will usually be set later on)
