>Description:
sysinst should be in the man pages.  Also, listed should be a general
outline of the steps it takes... eg, partitions, newfs, install bootblocks, fetches distribs, extracts them, fills in /etc/fstab,
makes devices, etc.  This would be helpful in understanding the process
as well as helping it along when it fails (as has happened with this version), and should be adequate for a hand install, if necessary.

I classify this as critial since it gets in the way of installing
NetBSD.
