HP Vectra VL series 7MT, NetBSD 1.3.2H, i386, sysinst booting from boot
floppy made from the boot.fs in snap-19981117.

>Description:
Booting from install floppy, choose to install netbsd.
sysinst finds my single hard drive and assumes that's what I want to install
on.  I choose ok, hit return at which point it says:
uid 0 on /: file system full
sysinst segfaults.

It shouldn't try to mount the disk... It hasn't been disklabeled or newfs'd
yet.  removing /etc/{s,}pwd for additional space doesn't help.  I've done
this with up to 190K free when I start sysinst.

>How-To-Repeat:
boot from install floppy.  choose 1) install netbsd.  agree you want
to install netbsd, agree with it that you want to use wd0.

>Fix:
 unknow.
