Re: install/38943 (i386 floppy installation now prompts for each floppy twice)



Synopsis: i386 floppy installation now prompts for each floppy twice

State-Changed-From-To: closed->open
State-Changed-By: tsutsui%NetBSD.org@localhost
State-Changed-When: Tue, 20 Jan 2009 01:23:25 +0900
State-Changed-Why:

http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/tech-toolchain/2008/09/25/msg000433.html
but only x86 bootloader was patched:
http://mail-index.NetBSD.org/source-changes/2008/09/26/msg210729.html
so other ports (at least macppc and x68k) still have the same problem:
---

OF_open bootpath=fd
read stage 2 blocks: 01234567. done!
starting stage 2...
