Hello:

I am in need of some basic help in setting up NetBSD for the first time. 
I am using a (currently) DOS based 386/40, and wish to set up NetBSD on
it.  I FTP the following files from a site.

inst1-09.fs
inst2-09.fs
kc-aha-09.fs
kc-aha-09p1.fs
kc-ahbbt-09.p1.fs
kc-ahbbt-09p1.fs

Now the next stetp,,, how do I extract these files onto floppies... (2) do
the floppies have to be somehow reformated with a unix type format, (3)
how do I partition my dos drive to hold a unix os, or will the install do
that?  any help in helping me get the initial setup going would be very
appreciated.

Thank you in Adv.

Richard
