After download a NetBSD-6.0_BETA2 kernel(GENERIC or MONOLITHIC) from:

ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-6.0_BETA2/i386/binary/kernel/

I can boot with this download kernel and upgrade to netbsd-6 userland.
Under the new userland, I rebuild the GENERIC kernel and this new kernel is
bootable, too.
