System: NetBSD orchard.arlington.ma.us 1.3_ALPHA NetBSD 1.3_ALPHA (ORCHARD) #12: Sat Nov 8 09:13:50 EST 1997 sommerfeld@stack.ch.apollo.hp.com:/usr/sommerfeld/NetBSD-1.3/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/ORCHARD i386


>Description:
	I managed to get to the screen for partition sizing, and 
	filled in a bunch of additional partitions given that there 
	was space left over.
	for sd0h (the last partition), I hit <enter> in response 
	to the size figuring that the number in square brackets was, in fact,
	the default which would be used if i just hit enter.
	
	sysinst instead made sd0h a zero-sized partition.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	just hit return to the sd0h size request, assuming the [456]
	in brackets was the default..
	don't pay attention to the disklabel summary screen
	watch newfs blow up.

>Fix:
	handle defaults correctly, or refuse to accept a zero-sized partition
	when entering partition sizes.
