On my Indy with
ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sgimips/snapshot/bootable-cd-3.99.3
I have lots of kernel messages:
  int0: unexpected local0 interrupt 0
This makes installation almost impossible unless you have a serial console.
I don't know if it is a problem with -current on Indy or only with the
bootable CD.
I booted ftp.netbsd.org:/pub/NetBSD/arch/sgimips/snapshot/bootable-cd-3.99.3
with a serial console and installed 2.0 from ftp.
