Well, the problem is that sysinst "knows" (actually, thinks it knows), how
many parts are in each set.  And this table wasn't updated after the split.
So sysinst thinks base has only parts aa-bw where it actually has aa-by,
and thus it misses the last two of the split files.

We really need a better mechanism to handle this.

Releng, could you update the dist_list initialization in
distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/*/md.h for those ports that do support split
sets?  Albeit, at least for 1.4.2 until now, I see that split sets are
only there for the i386...

Ciao,
Wolfgang
