Been there, done that, I DID read the install carefully ;)
I found it only seemed to acutally boot the rest of the miniroot 
if I power-cycled the machine, setenv eveything, THEN boot sd(0,3,1)netbsd -s.

Also, while using the install script, newfs would seg fault more
that I would like it to. No apparent reason. My partitioning
is correct (partition sizes divisible by ...sectors/cylinder i think..one
of those #s. I dont have my install faq next to me now).

Very odd.
