Luis Falcon ☛ NetBSD 11 from scratch | MeanMicio
In this post I will cover the installation process of the NetBSD operating system, including disk level encryption. Instead of using the standard installation program (sysinst), I decided to install NetBSD “from scratch”, as a way to dive into the internals, and learn more about the nuts and bolts of this great operating system.
This post is by no means a replacement for the NetBSD official guide. Sysinst is the the facto installer for NetBSD and is the most documented, straightforward way to install the operating system. This post is about having fun and understanding and learning the internals of the operating system. It also offers the highest flexibility to customize and overcome issues that may arise during a conventional installation.
