NetBSD 2.0_RC3 and the release candidates before work fine for me:

tron@colwyn:~>uname -sr
NetBSD 2.0_RC3
tron@colwyn:~>uptime
 6:51AM  up 44 days, 17:31, 4 users, load averages: 2.11, 1.75, 1.44

The machine above is used as multi purpose server (e.g. Mail and NFS)
and has often to deal with a lot of I/O load e.g. when I run CVS updates
or package builds.

Have you tried to disable soft dependences? Have you checked if your
partition tables is correct and you don't have an overlap between
a swap and FFS partition?

	Kind regards
