It would seem to me that a stable release of ReactOS should be mature
enough to implement its own native installer, it will have quality fat
drivers and a good partition manager, it seems more likely that these
alpha releases with broken installers would benefit from the cross
installer you propose.

 The importance of having a stable installer is
 paramount, as a minor flaw can break the confidence of
 a newbie.
 A similar work was carried out for GNU (with Hurd
 servers on Mach microkernel) -

 The feedbacks were encouraging,  some even
 complimented the boot splash image shown in the site.
 I am planning to go ahead with the cross-installation
 method now, as I don't know whether ReactOS is aiming
 at supporting other file systems, in future.
 If it works out, then by the time we announce the
 stable release, we can have a pretty good installer in
 place, capable of installing ReactOS without
 disturbing the existing partitions.
