Yes, that's what I read too. Also, the documentation states that you 
should get dbal and adodb extensions from CVS to install them as you 
obviously can't access the extension manager since TYPO3 isn't installed 
yet. However, the documentation is once again outdated, as CVS states 
the extension are now in core, which is confirmed by checking out 
typo3/sysext/. So, dbal is part of TYPO3 out-of-the-box, at least in 
4.0.2. Now, I'm not sure how widely that statement is true, as my recent 
post indicates... :/
