You can use these files from ftp.netbsd.org:


/pub/NetBSD/arch/hpcmips/snapshot/20000118/binary/sets/base.tgz
/pub/NetBSD/arch/hpcmips/compile/GENERIC/netbsd.tgz

But, these two come to 16MB, which are even in gzip'd format. You
must pick up files from that. 8MB is very tight. And you should
format your card with BSD file system (ffs).

Any one have bettter idea ?
