>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.
