Fwiw, i just finished a test..
1) archlinux-2009.01-beta3-core-i686-isolinux.iso
2) packages from core on cd
3) virtualbox-ose 32bit
4) grub
5) autoprepare with ext4 for / and /home

Install succeeded, but I had the following non-critical issues: 
(for some people the archiso-early one might be critical)

1) archiso-early problem: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13049
2) texinfo and bash packages, when being installed give "scriptlet
failed to execute successfully"
3) dependcy cycle: bash/readline/ncurses will be installed before
their glibc dependency.
4) nextitem bug still there. http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12947
5) 2 lines are being echoed to stdout in grub section.
http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/13050



Oh and btw: my fever is almost entirely gone now :))
