System: NetBSD biology.nmsu.edu 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (BIOLOGY) #0: Fri Jun 4 10:09:57 MDT 1999 root@rosa.nmsu.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BIOLOGY i386


>Description:
	The current (at least 1.4/i386) install floppies do not create
	a directory (/var/spool/lock) for tip to place lock files in.
	As a result, tip cannot be run "out of the box" from the
	install ramdisk.

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot an install floppy, escape from sysinst, run tip.

>Fix:
	Apply the following patch in
	/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk (similar changes may be
	necessary for other architectures).  This just causes mtree to
	create the lock directory.
