I couldn't get access to NetBSD partition after update crashed. Don't
know why it crashed. :( I need more investigation with this problem.

Installation didn't work either. Sysinst failed to find distribution
sets, etc.tgz, base.tgz, kern.tgz, etc. It was so strange since there
was no longer kern.tgz.

New curses seemed to cause minor problems with sysinst. Asterisk
box drawings were not displayed, and menu selection bar moved a bit
oddly.

Reboot from installation disk still didn't work. It caused panic. 
However, I'm not sure if this is a problem of sysinst. Reboot from
any 1.5.x disks always worked fine.

I also tried 20011206, but it was even worse. It crashed with seg
fault as soon as the kernel was booted. :(
