>Description:
The minitroot filesystem for NetBSD-sparc64 is broken. When I got to the
point where the sets get extracted "ifconfig -a" dumped core and filled
up the root filesystem. I can reproduce that if I invokle "ifconfig -a"
manually:

# ifconfig -a
uid 0 comm ifconfig on /: file system full

/: write failed, file system is full
[2]   Segmentation fault      

I got similar erros for "df", too:

trap: textfault at 1043f0!! sending SIGILL due to trap 16: illegal instruction

uid 0 comm df on /: file system full

/: write failed, file system is full
[2]   Illegal instruction     

>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the miniroot filesystem, exit to the shell and enter "ifconfig -a".

>Fix:
None provided.
