>Severity:	serious
>Priority:	medium
>Category:	port-macppc
>Class:		change-request
>Release:	NetBSD 1.6.2
>Environment:
Architecture: macppc
Machine: macppc
>Description:
	NetBSD/macppc's extensive installation instructions
	cover the use of pdisk(8), but if your network is not
	working, and you don't have it locally, the instructions
	are not useful.

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot a NetBSD/macppc 1.6.2 CD-ROM on a PowerMac dual G4 533 MHz

	Try to install without recourse to MacOS

	fail for lack of tools to tweak Apple's wonky partition tables

>Fix:
	A working pdisk(8) binary should be included in NetBSD's
	install media for macppc.
