+The "standard" method of getting NetBSD/pc532 onto your pc532 is
+via the console terminal and using the downloading parts of the
+ROM monitor.  As such, usually another computer has the distribution
+on disk and is connected via a serial line to your pc532's console
+port.  A terminal connected to the attached host computer is used
+to access the pc532 console via a terminal program.  
+
+You may need to find and read the documentation about the ROM monitor
+download command and other low level comands.
+
+Other methods of getting NetBSD/pc532 on your pc532 may include 
+SCSI tape or SCSI floppy disk or cloning a disk on a system
+already running NetBSD/pc532.
+
+If you have some operating system already running on your pc532,
+you can use that OS to get NetBSD/pc532 on a hard disk much easier than
+with the ROM monitor.  (NetBSD/pc532 was developed from Minix/pc532
+until it was self hosting.  You can run NetBSD and Minix or other OS
+off the same disk.)
