                      directory.  The installation disk image is suitable for

                      machines which are able to boot from such devices.  The
                      file system in the bootable disk image will have a layout
                      as described in release(7).
   
                      The installation image is bootable, and will automatically

                      which should be extracted during installation, NetBSD
                      disklabel, bootloaders, etc.
   
                      The live image is suitable for use as a disk image in

                      to boot NetBSD from a USB flash memory stick on a real
                      machine, without the need for installation.

        If a host system's default shell does support the required features, then
        we suggest that you explicitly specify a suitable shell using a command
        like
   
              /path/to/suitable/shell build.sh [options]
   
        The above command will usually enable build.sh to automatically set
        HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell, but if that fails, then the following
        set of commands may be used instead:
   
              HOST_SH=/path/to/suitable/shell
              export HOST_SH
              ${HOST_SH} build.sh [options]
   
        If build.sh detects that it is being executed under an unsuitable shell,
        it attempts to exec a suitable shell instead, or prints an error message.
        If HOST_SH is not set explicitly, then build.sh sets a default using
        heuristics dependent on the host platform, or from the shell under which
        build.sh is executed (if that can be determined), or using the first copy
        of sh found in PATH.
