I do this all the time with no problems (it's _much_ faster than using 
the installer), but b/c of scsi instability in past kernels, it would 
occasionally crash while doing this if I was in multi-user doing other 
things at the same time.  So I would recommend untarring Steve's archives 
in single-user if current kernels are still not quite stable.

Later.

P.S.  Steve, I also truly appreciate all of your efforts in making NetBSD 
binaries available.  Thanks!
