Tonight I noticed the 1.4.1 directory was actually readable, so I sucked
over a bunch of sets to try installing on my scratch machines.

netbsd.CATSINST isn't happy on my CATS box. It gets all the way to

root on md0a dumps on md0b

then says

no file system for md0 (dev 0x1200)
cannot mount root, error = 79
root device (default md0a): wscons: wskbd0 glued to wsdisplay0 (console)

and waits for me to type a root device or hit enter.

I tried entering 'ffs' instead of 'generic' for the file system type,
but that just changed the errno to 22.

Here's a dmesg from 1.4 since that is still intact on wd0a:
