On the i386 side there's a similar growth of the install.img.gz, but the growth in the .iso is not nearly as much. I haven't investigated why. On the bright side, I was also looking at the PATCHed RC1's at nyftp.netbsd.org. In that case the size from the i386 latest PATCH .iso actually went down notably in going to RC2.
I'd been playing around with RC1 (original from April) this week. I think I'll get the RC2 install kernel and sets and try upgrading it, that will be nicely smaller than the .iso (by omitting debug.tgz).
