Do you have a spare disk that you can dedicate to FreeBSD, keeping
the NetBSD one around just in case? If so, it will be a lot easier to
use the NetBSD tools to disklabel, newfs, mount and untar the tarball
in Doug's home directory on freefall, then just boot the FreeBSD
kernel and go from there. With FreeBSD tools, the FreeBSD kernel and
world builds normally.
