  I just set up a laptop with DOS5, Linux 0.99.12 and NetBSD 0.8 .  I have
it so I can boot whatever OS I want from the initial prompt.  Now the problem
is, how can I get additional software such as Mtools onto the system?  I 
though I could simply use load_fd, but it seems to have vanished.  

  What can I say, I'm new to BSD and I want to learn how to use BSD systems.

  Also, where can I get a copy of BASH for NetBSD 0.8, I gather from the faq
that it is available in one of the other releases, and it's what I'm used to
using under Linux.  Of course then I'll be back to the problem of getting it
on my system.

  Yes, I realize that this is probably incredibly easy and obvious, but I'm
lost.
