>Environment:
New install on i386, two partitions on drive (win95 and netBSD),
setting up to dual boot.
>Description:
sysinst during the boot manager configuration uses a timeout value
that the user specifies but subtracts one from it (except in the case
the user enters zero, in which case sysinst says the timeout is zero).
>How-To-Repeat:
Run install, get to the section of configuring the boot manager.
Change the Timeout Value. sysinst clears the screen and asks
for the new timeout value. Type a number N, hit enter; when the boot
manager screen reappears the Timeout Value is N-1. If N==0 then
sysinst will display the correct value.
>Fix:
Dunno.
