fdisk first.

Don't forget -p, though it's easier to follow pxeboot(8) and use the
normal bsd.rd installer (you'll also need a 'set tty com0' at the boot
loader, and answer the questions the installer asks about a serial
console).

man is pretty small, having done the soekris thing for years (and the
small-system-on-CF-on-a-PC before then) I would recommend installing it,
it's often useful to have the manual pages to match the exact OS
version you're using. Especially if it tends to get fewer-than-normal
updates as it's a fairly stable system. I normally choose base, man,
xbase, etc. Sometimes comp too.
