>Description:
	I've just installed NetBSD 1.4 by booting from floppy and
	then installing via ftp. First of all, things worked really
	good, there are some small issues which could be improved:

	 - remember the network config somewhere - esp. default
	   gateway and nameserver ip
	 - while fetching the sets via ftp, the progress-o-meter
	   isn't displayed at all - which was quite annoying with
	   my slow connection to ftp.netbsd.org
	 - given my slow connection, i've only chosen kern, base 
	   and etc to install for now. After that, I got some 
	   complain that some basic sanity check failed, without
	   further details. Some more information on what actually
	   failed would be nice. 

>How-To-Repeat:
	Install as above.

>Fix:
	WBNIF
