You need disklabel, newfs and tar for a manual installation. But probably easier would be to get into the installer somehow. Can you try an ISO image from a newer netbsd-9 build (or even 10.0 BETA)? You can download them from https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-9/latest/ or https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/latest/ Martin
