        Aha - mount issue hopefully found and fixed, and I think
        I have a fix for the 8.3 truncation issue. Will upload when
        build completes. You should only need the new sysinst.fs.gz
        for this test.

        Well, if you have a working NetBSD install on another
        disk/partition you can always perform the set transfer to
        the GEMDOS drive in NetBSD :)

        Would you have a chance to read through the atari INSTALL.html
        or INSTALL.txt and suggest any updates for NetBSD 5.0 (lets
        also assume the gemdos install will be working - that sets
        the challentge for me to make the code match the documentation
        :)
