FWIW: I installed 2.0_BETA (built from sources updated a couple of
days ago) onto a laptop that already had an existing 8GB WinXP
partition, and it worked _flawlessly_.

This including adding a separate 10GB MBR partition for NetBSD,
partitioning the NetBSD disklabel, and setting up the NetBSD MBR
boot selector to select between WinXP & NetBSD.

It only took 6 minutes from the time to boot off CD into sysinst
to the reboot into multiuser NetBSD after the installation finished...

I haven't yet tested installing that release onto a disk dedicated
to NetBSD.


Cheers,
Luke.
