>Description:
I installed NetBSD 1.6 inside vmware. I installed all base sets except those starting with "x". After that I wanted to add these sets and got the message:

It appears that wd0aca/Djibouti is not a BSD file system or the fsck was not
successful.  The upgrade has been aborted.  (Error number -1.)

>How-To-Repeat:
Install NetBSD from 1.6/i386cd.iso.
Install all sets except x*.
Try to install additional sets.
>Fix:
Check utils/sysinst/* for strncpy or similar.
