Attempting to install NetBSD on a generic A3000 with internal Quantum (unit 6)
and 316M HP external (unit 1). The HP is divided into:

dh1:  125.3M
nbr:   10.7M
swap:  27.7M
nbu:  157.3M

Counting blocks, xstreamtodev is correctly placing inst-11.fs onto swap.
rdbinfo displays all info correctly.

I had 1.0 installed with the same disk configuration, but now after:

 loadbsd -b netbsd

Everything goes fine. (Yes, typing sd0*) UNTIL -


Are you SURE you want NetBSD installed on your hard drive? (yes/no)

Initializing / (root) filesystem and mounting...
Warning: inode blocks /cyl group (29) >= data blocks (28) in last
    cylinder group. This implies 448 sector(s) cannot be allocated.

Drive light stays on, I have to reboot.

Initial display reports:

sd0 at scsibus0: 316MB, 1457 cyl, 8 head, 55 sec, 512 bytes/sec

That's 55 sec, not 56?

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Brian
