 Hi,
 
 I'm writing about the problem report you submitted 
 (http://www.netbsd.org/cgi-bin/query-pr-single.pl?number=29064), and I 
 wonder if you could give a more detailed description of what happened.
 Questions:
   * I assume you used i386cd.iso and i386pkg.iso from ftp.netbsd.org's
     /pub/NetBSD/iso/2.0 directory, yes?
   * As far as I know, the i386pkg CD boots into the "normal" NetBSD install
     routine, just like i386cd.iso does (i386pkg.iso is really i386cd.os
     plus binary pkgs). You say you selected all packages - where exactly
     did you select that? I don't remember that the system installer
     (sysinst) allows installing packages now, and the README.i386pkg file
     in the same dir as the i386pkg.iso file explicitly documents to use
     pkg_add.
 
     Can you please describe the steps you did in detail, after booting
     i386pkg?
   * Please describe the symptoms of how your system is "broken" after that
     step. What does work, what does not work? Does it hang during boot?
     What is the last thing you get, are there any error messages, etc.?
 
 
   - Hubert
