Re: NetBSD 9.0_RC1 - installation on GPT (with BIOS boot) not bootable

[Chavdar Ivanov <ci4ic4%gmail.com@localhost>]

In EFI mode, if one exits from sysinst and manually 'gpt create wd0',
then the rest of the installation proceeds ok as previously.

The bootx64.efi file still can't locate netbsd* though, so I have to
copy the older version.

This is again under yesterday's - late - 9.99.22.
