I used Bob's install doc to install 1.5BETA_2 with sysinst. sysinst 
worked great for me, even for partitioning. The only problem I had 
with it was that it didn't like me trying to install onto 2 hard 
drives.

It was much easier than the MacOS based installer, especially because 
I just told it to get the files from ftp.netbsd.org and it did it 
without a hitch!
