I was eventually able to remount the RAMDISK as read/write and then able
to renamed /etc/disktab.preinstall.  Once I did this, the disklabel was
finally commited to disk.  Is it a bug that disklabel won't write a
disklabel unless /etc/disktab is present?

I made it through the remainder of the install procedure -- unpacking all
of the binary sets onto the drive -- and now I have another problem: I
can't boot the kernel.

I've both 1) made a hard link from /netbsd to /boot and 2) tried booting
both files explicitly from the firmware command line.  In either case, I
end up with ``Data Abort''.
