>Environment:
System: NetBSD biology.nmsu.edu 1.4 NetBSD 1.4 (BIOLOGY) #0: Fri Jun 4 10:09:57 MDT 1999 root@rosa.nmsu.edu:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/BIOLOGY i386
>Description:
The current (at least 1.4/i386) install floppies do not create
a directory (/var/spool/lock) for tip to place lock files in.
As a result, tip cannot be run "out of the box" from the
install ramdisk.
>How-To-Repeat:
boot an install floppy, escape from sysinst, run tip.
>Fix:
Apply the following patch in
/usr/src/distrib/i386/floppies/ramdisk (similar changes may be
necessary for other architectures). This just causes mtree to
create the lock directory.
