nothing, stock netbsd kernel runs here.

but Stock kernel is big, i need to remove all unwanted stuff when i will find time.

With GENERIC only 47Mb are avaible to User, it can be shrinked to ~4-5Mb and then i will have almost 59Mb free.

-> USB, ACPI, etc... all unnecessary.

EDIT:
installed with dosboot.com and netbsd_install.gz
No floppys used.
