Cool.
Even the base set is more floppies than you want to swap. See if you
can get a network card working. It's definitely worth the trouble.

It's
recognized, but not working? In that case, I would suggest trying
Yes. It says there is a card at ne0 or ne2 (depending on the floppy
set I use) and then asks for the type of interface. I don't really
understand what this question is about but I've tried 2baseT, 10baseT,
and a few other answers somebody at comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc in
Usenet has sugested w/o any success. a different
card. It might be an incompatibility issue with the driver.
I might do so. I'll try to borrow one and see what comes out. You have to
take the fileset tarballs and run them through the split(1)
command on an existing NetBSD box, and then write them to DOS floppies.
The instructions are in the install docs. I guarantee you won't like
it. We're talking about dozens, if not hundreds, of floppies.
I see... I don't need a full installation. Having Vim, screen and SSH
would do for the use I want to give to my beloved Compaq laptop :-)
