>Description:
	sysinst, off the NetBSD 1.4 sparc install floppy, installed
	/netbsd.GENERIC and /netbsd.GENERIC_SCSI3.  at the end of the
	install it printed out the cryptic "the completed root
	filesystem failed a basic sanity check." error message, with no
	further explanation.  turns out the problem was that neither of
	those kernels is installed as /netbsd.
>How-To-Repeat:
	obvious.
>Fix:
	dunno if it's appropriate to make netbsd.GENERIC the default,
	either one should install as /netbsd or sysinst should ask the
	user.
