Hmm... this is getting to be a pretty common problem. (BTW, the installer
is only up to version 1.1g or so... it's the booter that's up to 1.11).
You have to do the install from within NetBSD, and make sure you use the
"--unlink" option when extracting the tar files (see the UPDATE file for
more information).

To the Installer maintainer (Steve Brown, right?): Would it be difficult
to make the installer do the unlink? Although it's much better to do an
upgrade from within NetBSD, it'd be nice if it'd work from MacOS as well
(like if you don't have enough disk space to put the tarfiles on the
NetBSD side or something).

For this one, fsck -f /dev/rsd2a
