NetBSD pluto 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (GENERICSBC) #0: Wed Aug 11 07:03:00 CDT 1999     fredb@corwin.home:/usr/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERICSBC mac68k

>Description:
The device name used to open the raw disk for re-writing the Apple Disk
Partition Map is missing the leading "/", therefore the open fails with
an unknown device error.
>How-To-Repeat:
Build and run sysinst/mac68k attempting to modify the disk partition
layout.

>Fix:
Apply the following patch to the file
   src/distrib/utils/sysinst/arch/mac68k/md.c
