System: NetBSD rock 1.5ZC NetBSD 1.5ZC (GENERIC_LAPTOP) #0: Sun Apr 7 18:24:05 CEST 2002 tron@lyssa.zhadum.de:/src/NetBSD-current/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC_LAPTOP i386
Architecture: i386
Machine: i386
>Description:
when trying the system installation (in my case, actually an upgrade)
of the above snapshot, installboot claimed that i386 was not a valid
architecture to install. This is a bit surprising for a i386 installation
image.

>How-To-Repeat:
	upgrade some i386 machine using the 20020407 snapshot.
>Fix:
	if this is an upgrade, accept the message by pressing ENTER.
	sysinst will happily continue, and the old bootblock was new
	enough to boot the 1.5ZC kernel (in my case).
