I believe a similar problem applies to the daily builds of the whole i386 
system.
When booting a CD made from i386cd.iso dated 2009/11/25, I get:

boot device: cd0
root on cd0a dumps on cd0b
vfs_mountroot: can't open root device
cannot mount root, error = 6

and then a prompt to enter the root device.

Does anyone know which was the most recent build of NetBSD-current that is 
installable?
Thanks,
