Fetch the new 2.0 kernels (URL posted earlier this month).
Using an early version of these I was able to get a bit further with
sysinst but could not complete the installation successfully. I'm able to
run using the generic kernel, but did a manual installation from an i386
NetBSD system with compact flash reader.
For anyone with MobilePro installation issues I'd recommend giving the
updated 2.0 kernel a shot.
