Yes, indeed. But there too few hints on dates, e. g. the To Do List: no
date for the updates, and the last date of the boot floppies are 6th
obtover 2002. Not a sign of a very active development if you won't read
the mailing list. ;-)

available now which more or less works, for netbsd-i386 (see
the debian-bsd.lightbearer.com page).
A step by step instruction page for each way (floppies/ chroot) will
clearify the braveness you need if you suppose to test it. ;-)
I simply miss some Howtos or even links to the mailing lists for
workarounds etc.

To get a better impression of your work: how much is done? 30 percent?
40 percent?
