>Description:
	when sysinst has done the newfs thing:

Populating filesystems with bootstrapping binaries and config files ...
tar: Removing leading / from absolute path names in the archive
tar: Could not create directory  : No such file or directory

not, but still it's confusing at least.

>How-To-Repeat:
	Grab 971122 installfloppy from ftp.netbsd.org, and set up a
	fresh system.

>Fix:
	Unknown.
