Just published "NetBSD 11 from scratch". I had a lot of fun writing it while diving into the internals of this great operating system. Hope you enjoy it and find it useful.
Happy hacking!

Very nice, but one little thing, I found I needed to add this entry to /etc/rc.conf

critical_filesystems_local="/var /usr"

But that was on an older release,which I kept when I upgraded from #NetBSD 10.1 to 11.o. Did something change with #NetBSD 11.0 where that is not needed ?

But will keep this for future reference!

@jmcunx @meanmicio If /usr and /var are separate partitions... Also with older releases I would expect problems.

@meanmicio I think it's good.to see a #NetBSD equivalent to #LinuxFromScratch…

@meanmicio Wow, this is really nice.
