So yesterday I decided to install NetBSD on a power mac 6500/250 that I 
had around. I ended up booting sysinst off of the floppy (the recent 
image), and proceeded to do an FTP install.

I used a custom partitioning scheme, and chose to install the binary 
packages for 1.6.1. Everything seemed to go fine.

At the very end of the installation, sysinst crashed and claimed that a 
filesystem was full. However, at that point it dumped me to a shell, 
and df didn't think any of my mounted filesystems were full (or the 
filesystem on the floppy drive). I found a sysinst.core file, which I 
copied to disk, and rebooted.

The install seems to have succeeded-- everything is working fine. The 
core file is at the following URL: 
http://www.bearhome.net/erik/sysinst.core, and I can send it to someone 
as an attachment if the download doesn't work.

I'm not sure if this is related to the previous things people have 
posted about, but it is a core file to look at. If there is information 
I've neglected to include, email me and I will include it.
