I m trying to install netBSD on a harddrive (2GB), for this I downloaded 
the last (2.0.2) iso CD and burned it (on RW). I set all option by 
default (full install, all hard drive, ...) but after all partition 
setting sysinst freeze on "Setting up the DOS partition table ..."

I tried an older version (1.6.2) with the same parameters, and it can 
modify the partition, but i have some warning about cylinders. But when 
I want to install the distribution sysinst can't find my CD (it very 
strange because I booted on !)

Yes I just tried your new livecd, but when I reboot I have this message :

boot : hd0a:onebsd.gz : No such file or directory
open onebsd.gz : no such file or directory
