Why use an installer to install an operating system, when you can just do it yourself, step by step?
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.

Is is interesting that NetBSD is the only “major” system avoiding AI by policy. For users, one just needs to know that netBSD 11 graphics support exists until Intel SkyLake architecture, or AMD Radeon up to the Polaris architecture.
“until”, “up to” : sounds like obsolete to me.
