>Description:
The final step of sysboot-14 does not rename one of netbsd.GENERIC
or the SCSI3 version to plain netbsd, causing the disk to be unbootable.

At the end of the install, a message is give that "it failed basic
samity check" or something like that.  This must have been the problem!

>How-To-Repeat:


>Fix:
have it mv one of the kernels to "netbsd".  Don't know how you
can tell which one.  Note: I was using the 01234 numbering, not
31204.  I also installed it on sd1, and then edited /mnt/etc/fstab
and changed sd1 to sd0, then prwered the system down, changed the
jumper on the scsi drive from 1 to 0 and rebooted.

Things were eventually ok after I got in there and mv'ed the netbsd.GENERIC
to netbsd.
