I sugest to get a 2.0_BETA from ftp://releng.netbsd.org/ and install it
by hand. To do this you need to:
- disklabel the disk
- make file systems
- mount the file systems, preferable with "-o softdep"
- un-tar all the distribution sets
- cd to the dev directory of the new root disk and run "./MAKEDEV all"
- cd to etc, edit fstab and rc.conf
- make sure there is a kernel and the secondary boot loader on the disk
- install primary boot loader with disklabel -B or installboot and
  look at /usr/mdec

Feel free to ask if you need more speciffic instructions.
