sysinst is executed on netbsd.GENERIC with nfs.
So, I setup file system at sd0.

=====================

sd0: 17501 MB, 15110 cyl, 6 head, 395 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 35843670 sectors
sd0: sync (50.0ns offset 16), 16-bit (40.000MB/s) transfers, tagged queueing
boot device: <unknown>

file system (default generic):
root on sd0a dumps on sd0b
root file system type: ffs
Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh:
We recommend creating a non-root account and using su(1) for root access.
