a friend of mine tried the following boot floppy: (mirror)
ftp://ftp.iij.ad.jp/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-1.5_ALPHA/i386/installation/floppies/
and i think we have some issues with it.

1. if we use DHCP, IPv6 configuration is not visited. (already discussed, and
we just need to fix it)
2. system boots up into multiuser mode, without root password configured
is it okay to do this?
3. (i386 specific) if we choose "entire disk as netbsd" menu,
the installed disk drive won't boot. we need to choose "share with other
operating systems" and then make a sole FDISK partition for netbsd.
it looks to me an issue with > 8G IDE harddisk, or issue with boot sector
installation.
