 1.  base.tgz
 2. comp.tgz
 3.  etc.tgz
 4.  games.tgz
 5.  kern-GENERIC.tgz
 6.  man.tgz
 7.  misc.tgz
 8.  text.tgz
 9.  xbase.tgz
10.  xcomp.tgz
11.  xetc.tgz
12.  xfont.tgz
13.  xserver.tgz

sysinst only complains if all thirteen are not installed, but will
continue to make all devices & create a symlink for the chosen
timezone.  Yet upon reboot, I get into an endless loop where "NetBSD
boot" (as I recall the text...) is continuously displayed.  If I
install all thirteen file sets, the reboot works as expected.
