Just completed an install with the install kernel from the 20020629-1.6 
snapshot:
> $ uname -a

I tried to install base, etc, kern, man, and comp on my 141 MB partition 
and it ran out of space while unpacking comp. Somehow this corrupted the 
disk pretty badly; fsck wasn't able to fix it. Right now, base, etc, kern,
  and man are taking up 76 MB. Looks like comp should just fit (ungzipped, 
it's about 50 MB), but seeing the mess pax made before, I don't want to 
risk it.

I think I ran into the same problem -- I put swap before root for some 
reason (Guess I should have read the install docs more carefully) and the 
booter tried to boot off the swap partition. Hmm, I wonder why that won't 
work. (-; I was able to fix it by changing the partition IDs in pdisk (the 
ultimate partitioning tool).

Other than those two problems, it went smoothly. Thanks Bob!
