Because the kernel on the installation disk is not suitable

you build a custom kernel. It is strongly encouraged that you

the prebuilt generic kernel on a long term basis.

[NOTE: In this snapshot, the "boot-12G.fs" floppy lacks a copy
of the driver for the Western Digital WD7000 SCSI
controller. This is to permit the system to successfully boot
on machines with four megabytes of memory. The wds driver,
unfortunately, has a design defect that makes it take up very
large amounts of statically allocated memory. This defect is
being fixed in the near future and the driver will be on the
NetBSD/i386 1.3 boot floppy. For the moment, if you are a
Western Digital user, please either custom build a boot floppy
for yourself, ask someone to build one for you, or wait for
another snapshot.]
