>Description:
This is from memory, but during the disk partitioning phase,
options are presented to the user to enter the "size", "offset",
etc. A hint is given that you can enter the following for "offset":
"a-p: start at the end of partition X"
this makes zero sense. I think that what is intended is this:
"X: start at the end of partition X"
Can someone verify this and change this text string to the
correct meaningful value? This does not make a very good
first impression on a novice user, especially when it prevents
them from installing NetBSD for the first time!
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
change string constant to correct value
