>Description:
	NetBSD 1.6.2 doesn't install cleanly on Dell (Optiplex 270G & Precision I-think 360?)
	because of the problems (I suppose) as described in PR #13310, and I hope the workaround
	/ solution as noted in mail-index.netbsd.org/port-i386/2001/03/28/0006.html will
	work, need to test tomorrow.
	In #13310 there's mentioned if the problem persists, should open another PR, here
	we go.
	
>How-To-Repeat:
	Install 1.6.2 (hubertf's lehmann distribution :-) on a(ny?) dell
	
>Fix:
	Dunno.
