It must run standalone, ie. not require anything like 'ld.so' etc. (I'm trying to install NetBSD 1.1 on a PC without tape, CD-ROM, it only has a serial line.) I think it will be less work to transfer the 'base11' files via a comms program an rz than via 32 floppies! (Mail me if that is more appropriate than replying in this newsgroup.) Have you considered to set up a SLIP connection after booting from the kernel image + install filesystem floppy? You can, then, (e.g.) NFS mount a directory with the distributions, or ftp them to a local (BSD) partition, after it is set up by the 1stlevel install procedure.
