text of pr install/26563 follows:

---------------------

Perhaps I am the only one left on the planet using a serial
console, but this problem on the 20040727 sparc sysinst (and
others?) makes things even more diffucult.

After a "boot net netbsd" with a dhcpd server, etc., I get to
the point where sysinst asks for the terminal type.  I use vt100
as always, and get the following response:

Erase is n.
Kill is n.

Now these settings are OK to navigate thru the menus and do
the install AFAICT, but they make using /bin/sh from the utility
menu difficult!  Basically, you can't type a command that has
an 'n' in it!

tset -e and reset -e both Seg Fault.

You can use:

stty erase ^H
stty kill ^C

to temporarily solve the problem.  Lucky there wasn't a single 'n'
in any of that!

This hopefully is an easy fix.  Should see what other architectures
might be affected.

The new style of the install looks good.
