Hi,

I've installed a number of LC040 systems now and there seems to
be some oddities when you choose Install vs Update.

Everything is fine until the edit the partition table step.
The disk label seems  to be written ok, but, a newfs is not done
and the partitions are not mounted.

I can work around it by choosing 'none' for the method to load 
the sets from, run /bin/sh, newfs /dev/sd0a manually, 
mount /dev/sd0a /targetroot, exit the shell, and redo the
'Install NetBSD' steps.  fsck complains about the disk not being
clean but that's because it was mounted.

Do others see this?  There is always the chance that the softfloat
patches have broken something.

Thanks.

cheers

bruce
