I think you are refering to NetBSD 0.8.  When you install the base system
you use the 'extract' command but after you shutdown your system the
extract program is no longer available.  It is probably in some temporary
directory that gets deleted at shutdown.  Instead just 'cat' all the
files together and then use 'gunzip' to extract them.  For example:
   cat ksrc.* | gunzip
